Preguntas Frecuentes
What is the MELD score?
The MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) score is a numerical scale used to assess the severity of chronic liver disease. It predicts 3-month mortality and is used for liver transplant organ allocation.
How is MELD interpreted?
MELD <10: <2% 3-month mortality. MELD 10–19: 6–20%. MELD 20–29: 20–50%. MELD ≥30: >50% 3-month mortality.
