Child-Pugh Score — Liver Cirrhosis Severity

Calculate the Child-Pugh Score for liver cirrhosis severity using bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and encephalopathy to classify patients into Class A (5-6), B (7-9), or C (10-15).

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate the Child-Pugh Score for liver cirrhosis severity using bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and encephalopathy to classify patients into Class A (5-6), B (7-9), or C (10-15)

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Bilirubin — The bilirubin recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Albumin — The albumin recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • PT/INR — The pt/inr recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ascites — The ascites recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Encephalopathy — The encephalopathy recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the child-pugh score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, encephalopathy for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the Child-Pugh Score for liver cirrhosis severity using bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and encephalopathy to classify patients into Class A (5-6), B (7-9), or C (10-15). Use the child-pugh score result to inform your calculation.
