Cirrhosis was associated with age (p = 0.0026), BMI values (p = 0.0274), albumin levels (p < 0.0001), platelet counts (p < 0.0001), prothrombin times (p < 0.0001), hyaluronic acid levels (p < 0.0001), AFP levels (p < 0.0001), and the presence of HCC (p = 0.0017) (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and hepatocellular carcinoma.
