ALB and chronic hepatitis: A comparison between QTc and Tpe in patients with chronic hepatitis versus patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child Pugh class B and C) proved that low albumin levels and increased bilirubin and ammonia levels correlated with QT duration (p = 0.03, p = 0.02 and p < 0.001 respectively) and shortening of Tpe (p = 0.04, p = 0.05 and p = 0.01 respectively).
