Child Pugh A is good news, it's the least severe of the three with the scale going from A - C. Simple explanation of it at wiki with how they arrive at the figures and what it actually means [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child... ] although I wouldn't get hung up on it all. Many patients never get told their scores/scales etc. & the only score that has much relevance in the UK is now the UKELD (United Kingdom Model for End Stage Liver Disease) scale which is the one they decide need for transplantation on.

All the best,

Katie
