Learn how to interpret your Advanced Liver & Metabolic Care (ALMC) 10-point assessment results and what each component means for your health journey.
The ALMC Liver Health Score is a precision 10-point assessment system that evaluates your liver health and metabolic function across four critical domains. This evidence-based scoring system provides a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond traditional single-marker tests to give you a complete picture of your liver and metabolic health status.
Developed by leading hepatologists and metabolic specialists, this 10-point system (scored to one decimal place, e.g., 6.7) combines metabolic risk factors, alcohol consumption patterns, blood test results, and imaging findings to create a personalized health profile with color-coded risk stratification that guides treatment and prevention strategies.
Emphasizes BMI ≥30, diabetes, and CVD
Elevated ALT and FIB-4
Steatosis + fibrosis; fibrosis dominates

Your ALMC Liver Health Score ranges from 0 to 10.0 points, with higher scores indicating greater risk. The score is rounded to one decimal place (e.g., 6.7) and categorized into color-coded risk zones:
Your liver and metabolic health indicators suggest minimal liver concerns. Focus on prevention and healthy lifestyle maintenance with regular monitoring.
Multiple risk factors indicate moderate risk for liver disease progression. Early intervention recommended with lifestyle changes to prevent advancement.
High risk profile indicates significant liver health concerns requiring immediate medical attention. Comprehensive treatment plan required for multiple risk factors present.
ALMC-10 = Metabolic (0-3) + Alcohol (0-2) + Blood tests (0-2) + Elastography (0-3)
The final score is rounded to one decimal place and provides precise risk stratification for personalized treatment recommendations.
Your blood work provides crucial insights into liver function and metabolic health:
Physical measurements help assess metabolic risk and overall health status:
Your daily habits significantly impact your ALMC 10-point score:
Based on Mediterranean diet principles, anti-inflammatory foods, and liver-friendly nutrients.
Physical activity directly impacts liver health and insulin sensitivity.
Based on your score and individual component results, here are evidence-based strategies to improve your liver and metabolic health:

Book Your Comprehensive ExamRegular monitoring is essential for tracking improvements and maintaining optimal liver and metabolic health:
While some improvements can be seen within 4-6 weeks (especially in lifestyle factors), significant changes in laboratory markers typically take 3-6 months of consistent healthy habits.
A declining score indicates the need for immediate lifestyle intervention or medical evaluation. Contact your healthcare provider to discuss potential underlying causes and treatment options.
While lifestyle changes are the foundation, certain medications may be appropriate for specific conditions. Your healthcare provider can determine if medications like metformin, statins, or liver-protective agents are right for you.
The ALMC 10-Point Scoring System represents a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding your liver and metabolic health that goes far beyond simple blood tests. By evaluating multiple domains - including metabolic markers, alcohol consumption patterns, laboratory values, and elastography findings - this scoring system provides a complete picture of your liver's current status and future risk trajectory. Unlike fragmented assessments that look at individual markers in isolation, the ALMC score integrates all relevant factors to give you a single, actionable number that guides both immediate interventions and long-term health strategies. This holistic approach reflects the interconnected nature of liver health, where metabolic dysfunction, lifestyle factors, and cellular damage all influence each other in complex ways that require comprehensive evaluation to fully understand and address effectively. The precision of this four-domain assessment ensures that no aspect of your liver health goes unexamined.
Understanding your score empowers you to take targeted action where it matters most. A high score in the metabolic domain might indicate the need for dietary changes and increased physical activity, while elevated alcohol-related points suggest the importance of reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption. The beauty of this system lies in its specificity - rather than vague recommendations to "be healthier," your ALMC score breakdown identifies exactly which factors are contributing to your risk and which interventions will have the greatest impact on your liver health outcomes. This precision allows you to focus your efforts efficiently and track meaningful progress over time. Each domain of the scoring system corresponds to specific, evidence-based interventions that have been proven to improve liver health outcomes, giving you a clear roadmap for improvement rather than generic advice that may or may not apply to your unique situation.
Regular monitoring of your ALMC score creates accountability and motivation for sustained lifestyle improvements. Most patients see measurable improvements within 3-6 months of implementing recommended changes, with some factors like liver enzymes and inflammatory markers responding even faster. The goal isn't perfection but rather consistent progress toward optimal liver and metabolic health. Whether you're starting with a concerning score that requires immediate attention or simply want to optimize an already good score, the ALMC assessment provides the baseline data and ongoing tracking you need to succeed. The scoring system also helps identify when more aggressive interventions may be necessary, ensuring that patients who need specialized treatment receive it promptly rather than waiting until their condition has progressed to more advanced stages.
