| Positive | 20 | 10 | 100% (83.2% to 100%) | 87.5% (78.2% to 93.8%) |
| Negative | 0 | 70 | ||
| CRP (heart) any staining | ||||
| Positive | 18 | 6 | 90% (68.3% to 98.5%) | 92.5% (84.4% to 97.2%) |
| Negative | 2 | 74 | ||
| Interleukin 6 (liver) any staining | ||||
| Positive | 9 | 21 | 45% (23.1% to 68.5%) | 73.8% (62.7% to 83.0%) |
