Table 2 Bilirubin and albumin deterioration thresholds based on Child–Pugh categorization (sensitivity analysis)

From: Liver function changes after transarterial chemoembolization in US hepatocellular carcinoma patients: the LiverT study

Parameter

Deterioration thresholds

Serum total bilirubin at baseline

  < 2 mg/dL

If ≥ 2 mg/dL or an increase of 100%

  ≤ 2–≤ 3 mg/dL

If > 3 mg/dL

  > 3 mg/dL

If increased by ≥ 1 mg/dL

Serum albumin level at baseline

  > 3.5 g/dL

If ≤ 3.5 g/dL or a decrease of ≥ 0.3 g/dL

  ≤ 2.8–≤ 3.5 g/dL

If < 2.8 g/dL

  < 2.8 g/dL

If decreased by ≥ 0.3 g/dL
