The variables, age, gender, etiology of cirrhosis, Child–Pugh scores, existence of ascites, existence of active bacterial infection, serum total bilirubin, serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum sodium levels, 24 h urine volume, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were evaluated as potential predictors of terlipressin and albumin response in both univariate and multivariate analyses (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and bacterial infectious disease.
