Gene expression is measured in a sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from a subject and used to predict organ function recovery. A Function Recovery Potential (FRP) score is assigned to a sample that reflects the measured expression level of the genes identified herein in a direction associated with recovery from organ failure. Treatment of the subject with optimal medical management (OMM) and/or palliative care (PC) is advised when the FRP score is lower than the reference value, and referring the subject for treatment with therapies including—but not limited to—mechanical circulatory support (MCS) surgery, heart transplant (HTx) surgery, or other intervention for advanced heart failure is advised when the FRP score is greater than the reference value. A method for developing an FRP scoring algorithm that predicts a subject's ability to recover from medical intervention for organ failure is also described.
