The CreLiMAx score is associated with the prognosis for a patient with cirrhosis. The authors are from Klinikum Charite Berlin, University of the Saarland, the Berlin Institute of Health and Evangelisches Krankenhaus Paul Gerhardt Stift in Germany.
Parameters:
(1) LiMAx in µg/kg/h (maximum liver function capacity, based on hepatocellular-specific metabolism of IV 13C-methacetin, which is metabolized by hepatocyte cytochrome P450 1A2)
(2) serum creatinine in mg/dL
CreLiMAx =
= (-0.532 * LN(LiMAx)) + (1.373 * LN(creatinine))
Parameters for probability of survival with S0(t):
(1) decimal fraction for survival for time period (t)
(2) mean CreLiMAx for population (differs for viral, alcoholic, biliary or other types of cirrhosis)
