Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD)
Estimates short-term survival in patients with end-stage liver disease for transplant planning.
IMPORTANT
MDCalc has recently streamlined the MELD calculator collection.
On this page, you'll find the original MELD Score (Pre-2016), MELD Na (UNOS/OPTN), and MELD 3.0. MELD Na is the current standard calculation for organ transplantation consideration in the United States. MELD 3.0 better accounts for disparities in organ allotment based on sex.
