Abstract

Chronic liver disease is the progressive destruction of liver for 6 months thereby
impairing clotting factor formation, bile metabolism, and protein synthesis. ChildPugh-Turcotte (CTP) score, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and MELD– sodium (Na) are well established calculated parameters to predict prognosis in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. This study was conducted to determine as to
how aspartate aminotransferase : platelet ratio index (APRI) fares in predicting
adverse outcomes and prognosis among patients with chronic liver disease
compared to other liver scoring.
