Apart from HDL-C, mean age (p value < 0.001), MELD score (p value < 0.001), Child status (p value < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (p value 0.004), serum albumin (p value < 0.001), INR (p value < 0.001), NLR (p value 0.003), sodium (p value 0.029), platelet count (p value 0.03), and total leucocyte counts (p value 0.048) were found to have a significant association with decompensation events during follow-up (see Table 2). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
