Child-Pugh Score Calculator — Assess Liver Disease Severity

Child-Pugh Score Calculator

Calculate the Child-Pugh score to assess the severity and prognosis of chronic liver disease. Determine the score based on bilirubin, albumin, INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy.

Step 1: Laboratory Values

1.5 mg/dL
Normal range: 0.1-1.2 mg/dL
3.8 g/dL
Normal range: 3.5-5.5 g/dL
1.2
Normal range: 0.8-1.2

Understanding Laboratory Values

Elevated bilirubin and INR with decreased albumin indicate impaired liver synthetic function. These values help assess the severity of liver disease.

Step 2: Clinical Findings

About Clinical Findings

Ascites and hepatic encephalopathy are complications of advanced liver disease. Their presence and severity significantly impact the Child-Pugh score and prognosis.
