Figure 1 Renal failure and in-hospital mortality in low-risk (urea <11 mmol/L and bilirubin <68 μmol/L) versus high-risk episodes (urea ≥11 mmol/L and/or bilirubin ≥68 μmol/L), treated with albumin versus nontreated. Data are presented as frequencies (%). #Excluding cases with renal failure (creatinine >133 μmol/L) at SBP diagnosis. *P < .001 and **P = .001 compared with low-risk group. ¶P = .05 and ¶¶P = .02 compared with high-risk treated with albumin.
