The positive association between high albumin level and survival was significantly greater for patients with older age (≥50 years), no diabetes, low UF volume (<1000 mL/day), and low levels of serum creatinine (<10 mg/dL), total cholesterol (<177.5 mg/dL), ferritin (<100 ng/mL), and hs-CRP (<0.1 mg/dL). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
