Also the present study showed that ascitic fluid albumin levels had sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 72.5% in differentiating malignant from nonmalignant ascites, at a cut-off value of > 1.7 gm/dL, whereas at a cut-off value of 0.8 gm/dL, it had sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 90% in differentiating cirrhotic from noncirrhotic ascites. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Ascites.
