I read where my condition was referred to as child class cirrhosis. what does child class refer to? and how do i find out what mine is?

How bad: The "child" class for an individual with cirrhosis is an old measure that combines bilirubin, albumin, ascites, encephalopathy, and nutritional status. It does not take into account the underlying cause or whether this might be treatable. It was used to estimate how somebody might do after being given an old portocaval shunt procedure. Wishing you strength & serenity at this challenging time.
