ALB and Cirrhosis: Among the laboratory variables listed in Table 2, only baseline level of INR was a significant strong predictor for the mortality of cirrhosis patient with acute exacerbation (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.29–2.19, p < 0.001) rather than liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, Ƴ-GT), bilirubin, albumin, creatinine, white blood cells count or platelet.
