GSTM1 and Cirrhosis: The pattern of liver test abnormalities are similar to that reported by Duah et al., (2021) where some abnormal laboratory parameters were associated with mortality.6,28 The mean albumin levels were expectedly low as it measures the synthetic function of the liver, which is reduced in cirrhosis and has been similarly reported in other studies.5,29 The low haemoglobin (Hb) found in our study is consistent with high prevalence of variceal bleed in this cohort of patients.
