ALBI Grade (Albumin-Bilirubin) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Accepts g/L or g/dL; values are converted to g/L before applying the original formula.
Accepts µmol/L or mg/dL; values are converted to µmol/L before applying the original formula.
Clinical noticeEducational estimate of liver functional reserve and prognosis only. Interpret ALBI with the full hepatocellular-carcinoma assessment and specialist clinical judgment.
Context and use
ALBI formula
ALBI = (0.66 × log10(total bilirubin in µmol/L)) + (-0.085 × albumin in g/L)
Convert bilirubin mg/dL × 17.1 and albumin g/dL × 10 before applying the original coefficients.
Apply thresholds to the unrounded score: Grade 1 ≤ -2.60; Grade 2 > -2.60 and ≤ -1.39; Grade 3 > -1.39.
