The Child-Pugh score is a system for assessing the prognosis of chronic liver disease, primarily cirrhosis. It provides a forecast of the increasing severity of liver disease and the expected survival rate. The Child-Pugh score is also referred to as the Child-Pugh classification, the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), and the Child Criteria. The Child-Pugh score is determined by scoring five clinical measures of liver disease. The five clinical measures are:
- Total bilirubin: yellow compound in bile from hemoglobin breakdown
- Serum albumin: blood protein produced in the liver
- Prothrombin time, prolongation(s) or INR: time for blood to clot
- Ascites: fluid in peritoneal cavity
- Hepatic encephalopathy: brain disorder from liver disease
