Pediatric metabolic liver diseases: Evolving role of liver transplantation

Table 2 The New Wilson (Dhawan) score for prediction of outcome in Wilson disease

Score	Bilirubin mg/dL	INR	AST (IU/L)	WBC (109/L)	Albumin (g/dL)
0	< 5.85	< 1.29	< 100	< 6.7	4.5
1	5.86-8.77	1.3-1.6	101-150	6.8-8.3	3.4-4.4
2	8.78-11.69	1.7-1.9	151-200	8.4-10.3	2.5-3.3
3	11.7-17.54	2.0-2.4	201-300	10.4-15.3	2.1-2.4
4	> 17.55	> 2.5	> 300	> 15.3	< 2.1

A score more than or equal to 11 indicates a high mortality without liver transplantation. These patients benefit most from an urgent liver transplantation. INR: International normalized ratio; WBC: White blood cell.
