  1. Only haematology and biochemistry values outside the reference values are demonstrated.
  2. #M = male, F = female, mon. = months
  3. st = stiffness, jp = joint pain, mp = muscle pain, skin = skin problems, f. = fever
  4. neutr = neutrophils, lymph = lymphocytes, b.a. = bile acids, fibr = fibrinogen
  5. Prot. = protein, Alb. = albumin, α2 = α2-globulins, β1 = β1-globulins, β2 = β2-globulins, γ = γ-globulins
  6. ↑ = value higher than reference value, ↓ = value lower than reference value
  7. H = homogeneous staining, Sp. = speckled staining, Neg. = negative
