MELD Score (Original, Pre-2016, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease)
Calculates the MELD score to quantify end-stage liver disease for transplant planning.
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: This is the pre-2016 MELD which does not include serum sodium level, as non-US transplant societies are still using the original MELD formula. The newer MELD Score is listed as “MELD Score”.
