The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score is currently accepted as a disease severity index of cirrhotic patients awaiting liver transplantation; however, its impact on prognosis after resection of HCC on cirrhosis has never been investigated. One hundred fifty-four cirrhotic patients ...
Aims Liver dysfunction due to heart failure (HF) is often referred to as cardiac or congestive hepatopathy. The composite Model for End-Stage Liver Disease excluding INR (MELD-XI) is a robust scoring system of liver function, and a high score is associated with poor prognosis in advanced HF...
Background and aim:We used the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scoring system to predict the 3-month prognosis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) after plasma exchange (PE) and lamivudine treatment, and studied the predictive factors on the prognosis of patients....

Model for end-stage liver disease score and systemic inflammatory response are major prognostic factors in patients with cirrhosis and acute functional ren... Although it is often functional at presentation, acute renal failure has a poor prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. The role of inflammation...
Objective To investigate the implication of the model of end-stage liver disease(MELD)in assessment of short and middle term prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Method 167 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis admitted to our hospital were studied and followed up at least for...
Caring for patients with end-stage liver disease can be very challenging for NPs. Cirrhosis, the final stage of liver injury, occurs when there is fibrosis and nodular regeneration within the liver tissue. Every year in the United States, complications from cirrhosis lead to over 400,000 hospita...
Impact of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score on prognosis after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis The objective of this study was to predict postoperative liver failure and morbidity after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cirrhosis. T... A Cucchetti...
Malnutrition is common in patients with end-stage liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy, and is considered a significant prognostic factor affecting quality of life, outcome, and survival. The liver plays a crucial role in the regulation of nutrition by trafficking the metabolism of nutrients, thei...
Liver disease is prevalent worldwide. When it reaches the end stage, mortality rises to 50% or more. Although liver transplantation has emerged as the most efficient treatment for end-stage liver disease, its application has been limited by the scarcity
