How is bilirubin used in the SOFA hepatic score?

Bilirubin <1.2 mg/dL scores 0, 1.2-1.9 scores 1, 2.0-5.9 scores 2, 6.0-11.9 scores 3, and ≥12.0 mg/dL scores 4, reflecting progressive hepatic dysfunction.

What does a high SOFA hepatic score indicate?

A SOFA hepatic score of 3-4 indicates severe liver dysfunction requiring consideration of hepatic support strategies and warrants evaluation for acute liver failure.
