We utilized C‐reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), inflammatory burden index (IBI), albumin (ALB) and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) as diagnostic markers for cachexia, designating them as CRP‐based cachexia, NLR‐based cachexia, IBI‐based cachexia, ALB‐based cachexia and GPS‐based cachexia, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Cachexia.
