In our study, the average volume of index LVP was 5 L and the average baseline creatinine was 1.4 (range: 0.4-6.5, median: 1.05), but it is difficult to ascertain if the higher incidence of AKI in our patients was due to lack of adjusting the paracentesis volume or albumin infusion in patients with higher creatinine. Here, ALB is linked to acute kidney injury.
