Patients with adenovirus-associated ARDS had significantly higher levels of neutrophil percentage (P = 0.003), total bilirubin (P = 0.042), aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.001), blood urea nitrogen (P = 0.001), creatinine (P = 0.008), D-dimer (P = 0.014), creatine kinase (P = 0.002), and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (myocardial band) (P = 0.014), but lower levels of lymphocyte percentage (P = 0.001), platelet (P = 0.004), and albumin (P < 0.001) than those patients without ARDS (Table 2). Here, ALB is linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
