Table 4 Laboratory markers with range according to the clinic laboratory — hemoglobin, thrombocytes, leukocytes, c-reactive protein/CRP, and creatinine — preoperatively, post-op (last laboratory control before discharge) and during the course (approx. 2 months). Also, the presentation of the maximum change (leukocytes, CRP, creatinine, hemoglobin, thrombocytes). The mean value is shown. A subdivision was made according to the body contouring and the bariatric surgery used
