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.
What you enter
- Total bilirubin
- Albumin
- Platelet count
