    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    MELDNa/MELD-Na Score for Liver Cirrhosis

    Adds sodium to the MELD model for liver cirrhosis.

    IMPORTANT

    We’ve updated and combined our MELD scores into one page. Clinicians can choose the formula that best fits their needs: the original MELD score; the current MELD-Na used by UNOS/OPTN, and the 2022 MELD 3.0 score. Click here to view.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Note: The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network recently incorporated sodium into their new MELD Score as of January 2016, using a different model than MELD-Na. We recommend using the new MELD Score primarily.
    Why Use

    The MELD-Na may improve upon the MELD Score for liver cirrhosis.
