In this study, to exclude the effect of esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) on Hb, ACLF patients with compensated cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis, and recompensated cirrhosis precipitated by EVB were compared, and no significant difference in Hb was found among the three groups (Table S2). This evidence concerns the gene GSTM1 and Cirrhosis.
