Moreover, the Fischer's ratio, which was significantly lower in patients with alcoholic hepatitis (1.32 ± 0.08) than in controls (3.20 ± 0.16), increased by 17% after albumin dialysis (p < 0.02) because of a significant decrease in phenolic aromatic amino acids (193 ± 17 μM to 165 ± 9 μM, p = 0.04). Here, ALB is linked to alcoholic hepatitis.
