This log scales calculations therefore any value that is less than 1 is automatically adjusted to the lower limit value of 1 to prevent generating a negative score. With Serum Sodium between 125 and 137 mEq/L. Where MELD(i) is the original MELD score without serum sodium. The 2016 MELD score formula is the following: In case the patient is known hyperglicemic with glucose > 120 mg/dL a sodium correction needs to be applied. Serum sodium values are input in mEq/L and then normal range is considered between 125 and 137 mEq/L. In January 2016, OPTN changed Policy 9.1 in regard to MELD score with the introduction of serum sodium as factor in the calculation of the score. The MELD uses the international normalized ratio for prothrombin time (INR), the serum creatinine and serum bilirubine values in order to display the MELD Score according to the following formula: This helps provide an insight on the level of the disease and its stage in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) prioritizing allocation. This MELD calculator uses the international normalized ratio time (INR), the serum creatinine and serum bilirubine values in order to display the MELD Score.
This is a health tool that determines the MELD Score which is used to estimate the relative severity of the chronic liver disease.
