In patients with advanced cirrhosis we previously reported that the median time to cure was significantly longer in patients with Child-Pugh≥B-7 compared to those with Child-Pugh <B-7 (9.1 weeks [range 4.7–20.2] vs 7.5 weeks [range 2.5–17.3], p = 0.002) and in patients with albumin level, ALB<35 compared to those with ALB≥35 (9.2 weeks [range 4.2–15.1] vs 7.9 [range 2.5–20.2] weeks, p = 0.048) [11]. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Cirrhosis.
