ALB and Hepatic fibrosis: Patients with advanced liver fibrosis were older (P = 0.016); had higher serum IgG (P = 0.012), TBIL (P = 0.029), ferritin (P = 0.002), and TSI (P = 0.011); had longer PTs (P < 0.001) and lower PLT counts (P < 0.001); and had lower serum ALB (P = 0.039), transferrin (P = 0.043), UIBC (P = 0.008), and TIBC (P = 0.006) in the univariate logistic regression analysis.
