- Liver cirrhosis is defined as compensated or decompensated and further classified using the Child-Pugh system which is well known to individuals skilled in the art. Cirrhosis patients are classified on the basis of certain clinical parameters. Child Pugh A patients are compensated and may display minimal obvious symptoms. Patients classified as Child Pugh B or Child Pugh C are decompensated and can exhibit outward symptoms such as ascites.
- the Child-Pugh score consists of five clinical features including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, albumin, total bilirubin, and PT-INR (Prothrombin Time - International Normalized Ratio) and is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Each component is given a numerical score from 1 to 3 and added to provide total scores ranging from 5 to 15. The higher the score, the worse the prognosis is for the patient. Patients with a total score of 5-6 are classified as Child Pugh A. Patients with a total score of 7-9 are classified as Child Pugh B. Patients with a total score of 10-15 are the most ill and are classified as Child Pugh C (see Pugh R.N. et al.
