The research utilizes a national cohort from the Veterans Health Administration, comprising 56,941 outpatient paracentesis procedures performed on 9,467 adult patients with cirrhosis. It assesses the adjusted odds of AKI-related hospitalization linked to albumin administration, revealing a significant protective effect, particularly in patients with lower eGFR levels. The findings suggest that albumin administration can reduce the risk of AKI hospitalization, highlighting its potential role in managing patients undergoing paracentesis.
