Fig. 2

Time course and scatterplots of liver enzymes, Alb/HCT, and markers of iron metabolism during hospitalization. A, C Time course of the patient's test results. A Changes in transferrin saturation (TSAT, %) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, IU/L). B ALT (U/L) and albumin (Alb, g/dL) change during the course. C Changes in GGT (U/L) and ferritin (ng/mL). For Figures B and C, each parameter was divided by hematocrit (HCT, %) to adjust for concomitant dehydration. D–F Scatterplots and nonparametric test results. Figures D, E, and F indicate the relationship between TSAT and ALT, Alb/HCT and ALT/HCT, and GGT/HCT and ferritin/HCT, respectively. The box indicates the interquartile range (IQR), and the solid horizontal line represents the median. Whiskers are expanded to the most extreme data point of no more than 1.5 × IQR from the edge of the box. Open circles reveal outliers. Nonparametric test results are shown below each scatterplot. For the statistical analysis, we used free statistical software R version 4.2.1 (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform, https://www.r-project.org)
