Utility of Modeling End-Stage Liver Disease in Children with Chronic Liver Disease
Introduction: Chronic liver diseases consist of wide spectrum disorders that may be complicated by cirrhosis and therefore need to transplantation. The pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score and model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has been used as predictors of mortality chronic liver diseases listed for liver transplantation. The aim of this study is evaluation of relation be...
متن کاملDoes model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) require modification?
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...

Albumin has been widely used in patients with cirrhosis in an attempt to improve circulatory and renal functions. The benefits of albumin infusions in preventing the deterioration in renal function associated with large-volume paracentesis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and established hepatorenal syndrome in conjunction with a vasoconstrictor are well established.

متن کاملEnd-stage liver disease in HIV disease.
Liver disease is the most common non-AIDS-related cause of mortality in HIV-infected patients. HIV-infected patients with chronic liver disease progress more rapidly to cirrhosis, and those with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus coinfection progress more rapidly from decompensation to death and are at increased risk of death from end-stage liver disease. With improvements in health associa...
متن کاملبررسی ارتباط بین MELD (Model of End Stage Liver Disease) و لیپیدهای سرم در بیماران سیروز جبران نشده (cirrhosis Decompensated)
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...
