ALB and Cirrhosis: The Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score was devised to prognosticate survival after esophageal transection surgery for the management of bleeding varices.5 For years, the CTP score was also used as a clinical tool to assess survival in patients with cirrhosis, and until 2002, it was used by UNOS to prioritize organ allocation for LT.2 The score encompasses biochemical parameters of serum bilirubin, albumin, and prothrombin time along with clinical parameters of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
