HALP Score (Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, Platelet)

HALP score (Chen 2015) = hemoglobin (g/L) x albumin (g/L) x absolute lymphocyte count (10^9/L) / platelet count (10^9/L).

Example

Hemoglobin
140 g/L
Serum albumin
40 g/L
Absolute lymphocyte count
2.0 10^9/L
Platelet count
250 10^9/L

Result: HALP score 44.8 — interpretation is context-dependent (a lower value is less favorable).

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

What the result means

value
HALP = hemoglobin (g/L) x albumin (g/L) x ALC (10^9/L) / platelets (10^9/L). A nutrition/inflammation/immune-reserve marker; a LOWER value is less favorable. No universal cutoff.
