- Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) value ≤2.0-fold greater than the upper limit of normal (if due to lymphoma in the liver, patients will be allowed to have transaminase values ≤ 5.0 fold greater than the upper limit of normal) and bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL unless due to Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) in which case the bilirubin should be ≤3.5 mg/dL.
