As the median of testing/assessing time intervals and follow-up durations were 3 days and 14 days for liver biochemistries (ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL), we compared the dynamic levels of these indicators within/between the two groups at baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 days during hospitalization. The median levels of liver biochemistries over time were no significant difference between two groups ( Figure 3 ; Wilcoxon signed-rank test, ALT: p=0.56, AST: p=0.58, GGT: p=0.43, TBIL: p=0.	./cache/cord-307044-4czeehkq.txt	./txt/cord-307044-4czeehkq.txt
