Hi, i keep seeing people have an L score, can someone let me know what it is and why some peoole have it and some dont. Cant seem to find anything about it online.

Thanks

  • From the kidney cancer uk site:  

    The Leibovich score is used to predict a patient's risk of developing metastatic cancer after having removal of a whole kidney. This scoring system can help your medical team decide how best to manage a patient after surgery.

    I don't have an L-score.  But I'm metastatic so out-of-scope. 

  • That makes sense as to why some have one and some dont, i had a partial so that explains why i didnt have one.

    Thank you
