Core Tip	Prognostic models to assess liver function in patients with chronic liver disease are used extensively in clinical settings. These systems employ multiple clinical and laboratory parameters to evaluate liver reserves and predict outcome. In our study we assessed cholinesterase as an independent predictor of hepatic reserves. We found that its values correlated strongly with Liver function tests and with the existing scoring models. Thereafter, we defined optimal cholinesterase levels corresponding to the different stages and classes of the scoring systems and hence the severity of chronic liver disease. The study’s subjects were patients suffering from cirrhosis due to hepatitis D.
