The anecdotal nature of this experience makes evidence-based decisions regarding suitability for transplantation very challenging. The largest reports of transplantation for tumors other than hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma have been for neuroendocrine tumors. Hepatic metastases are present in ap...

Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) measures serum bilirubin (mg/dL), serum albumin (g/dL), International Normalised Ratio (INR) for prothrombin time. MELD score accurately predicts survival in 3 months for cirrhotic patients on the waiting list of liver transplantation. In about 15% of patients, it does not accurately predict survival and hence MELD-Na is recommended. MELD score is a poor...

Background & Aims: The liver plays an essential role in lipid metabolism. For reduced liver biosynthesis capacity, low levels of triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) is usually observed in chronic liver diseases. We conducted this study to determine the relationship between serum lipids and MELD score level in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Materials & Methods: A checklist was prep...
متن کاملClinical applications of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) in hepatic medicine
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score incorporates serum bilirubin, creatinine, and the international normalized ratio (INR) into a formula that provides a continuous variable that is a very accurate predictor of 90-day mortality in patients with cirrhosis. It is currently utilized in the United States to prioritize deceased donor organ allocation for patients listed for liver tran...
