  The ALBI score is a new model for assessing the severity of liver dysfunction and to predict the outcome of patients with acute on chronic liver failure. The purpose of this study was to look for the prognostic value of ALBI score in predicting the outcome in patients of Acute on chronic liver failure. This prospective observational study included 50 consecutive patients of ACLF where we looked for the etiology of the underlying chronic liver disease, routine blood investigations were done, ALBI, MELD and CTP scores were calculated within 24 hours of admission. The mortality was assessed during the hospital stay and if discharged at 3 months by telephonic conversation. The association of ALBI score with the mortality in patients of ACLF was looked for and was compared with that of CTP and MELD scores. A higher ALBI score was noted in the non-surviving group than in the surviving group.. View more»
