ALB and Cirrhosis: In univariate analyses, average NIHTB T‐score was significantly associated with history of OHE (37.8 vs. 44.5, P < 0.001), albumin (rho 0.33, P < 0.001), international normalized ratio (INR, rho −0.33, P < 0.001), and MELD‐Na (rho −0.26, P = 0.004), but was not significantly associated with age, gender, education, leukocyte count, hemoglobin, platelets, sodium, creatinine, bilirubin, etiology of cirrhosis, or TIPS.
