child purgh score

[Etymolog]

Could your score fluctuate? Tia

[RugbyMama]

Put simply; yes.

The score is a point system based on symptoms including physical things like varices, ascites and HE but also things from blood tests like bilirubin levels. So if your blood tests improve, your Child-Pugh score might change. If you moved from decompensated cirrhosis to compensated, it's likely your score has improved.
