Multiply the score by 10 and round to the nearest whole number. Laboratory values less than 1.0 are set to 1.0 for the purposes of the MELD score calculation. The revised MELD uses the MELD-Na score, which is as follows: MELD-Na = MELD + 1.32 x (137-Na) – [0.033 x MELD x (137...

In addition, these investigators showed that adding sodium to the MELD calculation (coined as the MELD-Na score) significantly increased the accuracy of the score in predicting waiting list mortality [17]. Similar to the three MELD score blood tests (bilirubin, creatinine, INR), serum sodium is...
We analyzed the gender, age, and MELD score associated with different indications for OLT during this period.doi:10.1016/j.transproceed.2007.01.013A. FlodénM. CastedalS. FrimanM. OlaussonL. BackmanElsevier Inc.Transplantation ProceedingsFloden A. Calculation and comparison of the model for end ...
All patients signed the informed consent and underwent a standard examination with determination of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and calculation of the MELD-XI index = 5.11 (ln [total bilirubin, mg/dl]) + 11.76 (ln [creatinine, mg/dl]) + 9.44. The primary endpoint...
Lastly, a significant bias in calculation of the MELD score can derive from the use of different assays for creatinine in different laboratories [76]. This variability is exacerbated by the analytical interference of bilirubin, a chromogen, when the colorimetric Jaffé method is employed. When ...
