Rh: Rhesus blood group; Hb: Hemoglobin (g/dL); PLT: Platelets (10⁹/L); WBC: White blood cell (10⁹/L); ESR: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (mm/hour); RBG: Random blood glucose (mg/dL); ALT: Alanine aminotransferase (U/L); AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALP: Alkaline phosphatase (U/L); CHOL: Total serum cholesterol (mg/dL): TRIG: Triglycerides (mg/dL); SCr: Serum creatinine (mg/dL); BUN: Blood urea nitrogen (mg/dL); p: Person Chi-square test or one-way analysis of variance probability followed by Duncan multiple range test post hoc (Significant p-value is marked in bold). Different superscript letters indicate significant difference between means in rows (p ≤ 0.05), while similar letters indicate no significant difference (p > 0.05)
