However, there was no significant association between albumin administration and AKI after adjustment (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.90–1.76 for the IPTW; OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.72–1.48 for the PSM; and OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.76–1.43 for the PS covariate adjustment methods). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute kidney injury.
