CYP2E1 immunoglobulin G4 subclass antibodies after desflurane anesthesia

Table 4 Comparisons of IgG4 and alpha-glutathione-S-transferase levels according to medical history of receiving or not receiving anesthesia previously

	No previous anesthesia (n = 12)	Previous anesthesia (n = 27)	P value1
IgG4 levels
Baseline	0.025 (0-0.04)	0.08 (0.02-0.66)	0.099
96 h after anesthesia	0.035 (0-0.07)	0.105 (0.03-0.74)	0.051
αGST levels
Baseline	2.94 (1.69-3.94)	3.54 (1.42-5.87)	0.505
96 h after anesthesia	3.825 (3.02-5.4)	2.65 (1.05-4.33)	0.147

¹Mann-Whitney U test. Data are presented as the median interquartile range; αGST: Alpha-glutathione-S-transferase.
