ALBI-PLT Score (Varices Risk)

ALBI-PLT score (Chen 2018): ALBI grade points plus platelet points (2–5); a score of 2 marks very low high-risk-varices risk (screening deferrable).

Example

Total bilirubin
20 µmol/L
Albumin
40 g/L
Platelet count
120 ×10⁹/L

Result: ALBI-PLT score 4 — elevated high-risk-varices risk (> 2).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

2
Very low high-risk-varices risk; endoscopic screening may be deferred.
> 2
Elevated high-risk-varices risk. ALBI grade points + platelet points. A risk score, not an endoscopy order.
