Blood samples were taken within 24 h of admission. Laboratory data were collected, including hemoglobin (HB), fast blood glucose, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), uric acid, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, serum album (ALB), alanine aminotransferase, total cholesterol, total glyceride, and D-dimmer.
