LOINC display name : Hepatotocellular carcinoma risk [Score] GALAD;
LOINC long common name : Hepatotocellular carcinoma risk [Score] GALAD;
LOINC short name : GALAD Score;
LOINC description : The GALAD score provides the probability of a patient having hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC). It is calculated based on gender, age, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-L3, AFP, and
des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin [DCP], and higher GALAD model scores correlate with
increased risk of HCC. The GALAD model is reported to be more accurate in diagnosing
HCC compared to the use of the individual markers.;
