Question

Which of the following is not a component of Child-Pugh scoring?

• A. Albumin
• B. Bilirubin
• C. Prothrombin Time
• D. LFT

Hint:

The Child-Pugh score does not directly include Liver Function Tests, although it does assess liver function through specific parameters like albumin, bilirubin, and prothrombin time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Child-Pugh scoring system is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease, particularly cirrhosis. It includes the following components:
Albumin: Measures the protein level in the blood.
Bilirubin: Indicates liver function based on the bilirubin levels.
Prothrombin Time: Reflects clotting ability, which is crucial for assessing liver function.
Ascites: Not mentioned here, but it is part of the scoring. The Liver Function Test (LFT) is not a direct component of the Child-Pugh score, though liver function is indirectly assessed through bilirubin, albumin, and prothrombin time. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{D} \, \text{LFT} \]
