Core Tip	A recent article in the World Journal of Gastroenterology reviewed its application in various liver diseases. The ALBI score shows predictive power comparable to established measures, possibly due to its continuity, sensitivity and inclusion of albumin. However, despite promising results, the ALBI score has limitations. We believe population-specific validation studies and consideration of modifying factors are essential to ensure its accuracy and reliability in diverse patient populations.
