Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MELD score?
MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) predicts 3-month mortality in chronic liver disease using bilirubin, creatinine, and INR. It is used to prioritize liver transplant candidates.
What is MELD-Na?
MELD-Na adds serum sodium to the MELD formula, improving prognostic accuracy. Hyponatremia in liver disease is associated with worse outcomes.
What MELD score requires transplant consideration?
Patients are generally listed for transplant with MELD >= 15. Higher scores receive priority. MELD >= 25 indicates significant mortality risk without transplant.
