Child-Pugh and ALBI liver-function scores
Scores for how well the liver still works; in liver cancer they decide whether a patient can tolerate treatment at all.
Child-Pugh (bilirubin, albumin, INR, ascites, encephalopathy; classes A-C) gates almost every HCC trial to class A. ALBI (albumin-bilirubin) is an objective alternative that stratifies within Child-Pugh A. Liver function, not just tumour stage, drives prognosis in HCC.
