About this calculator

Overview

The ALBI (Albumin-Bilirubin) score is a simple and objective method for assessing liver function in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Unlike the Child-Pugh score, it does not rely on subjective parameters like ascites or encephalopathy, making it highly reproducible.

💡

Pro Tips

Ensure units are correctly converted (g/L for Albumin, μmol/L for Bilirubin).
The score is specifically validated for HCC prognosis rather than general cirrhosis.
Monitor for trends over time, as decreasing ALBI grades can indicate liver recovery after therapy.

Fun Facts

"ALBI Grade 1 patients have the best survival and are often candidates for curative treatments."
"Grade 3 indicates severe impairment and usually precludes major liver resection."
"It was developed to overcome the limitations of the Child-Pugh score in early-stage disease."
"It uses only two laboratory markers, making it easy to calculate globally."

Formula: ALBI = (log10 Bilirubin [μmol/L] × 0.66) + (Albumin [g/L] × -0.085).
