Levels of total bilirubin (TB, 9.93 ± 4.17 vs. 13.11 ± 4.33, P = 0.007), indirect bilirubin (IB, 5.86 ± 2.66 vs. 10.37 ± 3.67, P<0.001), albumin (ALB, 40.78 ± 4.94 vs. 45.21 ± 2.62, P<0.001), creatinine (Crea, 58.62 ± 16.92 vs. 69.93 ± 15.70, P = 0.012), uric acid (UA, 287.24 ± 87.61 vs. 345.37 ± 91.31, P = 0.018), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL, 1.11 ± 0.35 vs. 1.34 ± 0.27, P = 0.011) were lower in ITP patients compared to healthy controls (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and tuberculosis.
