However, serum albumin (17.9 ± 4.4 vs 24.1 ± 6.0 g/L, p = 0.001) and transferrin (1.3 ± 0.6 vs 2.0 ± 0.5 g/L, p < 0.0001) levels were demonstrated to be significantly lower in patients with Child-Pugh C liver cirrhosis compared to those with Child-Pugh B disease. The gene discussed is TF; the disease is cirrhosis of liver.
