The Child-Turcotte-Pugh scoring is used to predict the surgical risk of intra-abdominal operations on cirrhotic patients. A 56-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic liver disease resulting from chronic hepatitis B infection. On physical examination, he was oriented to three spheres, conversant, not in distress, and negative for shifting dullness. Laboratory tests revealed a bilirubin level of 3 mg/dL, albumin level of 1.5 g/dL, INR of 1.6, and abdominal ultrasound showed minimal intra abdominal fluid. What is the patient’s CTP score?
