Abstract: Objective To investigate the feasibility of hepatic reserve function evaluation by new classification based on Child-Pugh combination with Fibroscan and ICG measurement. Methods From October 2011 to October 2012, 93 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were evaluated by Child-Pugh classification and new classification for their pre-and-post operative hepatic reserve function, and the precision of two classifications to predict hepatic functional compensation were measured. Results The precision of Child-Pugh classification to predict hepatic functional compensation and mild hepatic functional decompensation was 62.22% and 64.58%, respectively, which were 83.33% and 87.23% for new classification, respectively. Conclusions New classification is better than Child-Pugh classification in evaluating hepatic reserve function for HCC patients complicated with liver cirrhosis.
