The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). MELD is a numerical scale, ranging from 6 (you are less sick) to 40 (you are gravely sick), used for liver transplant candidates age 12 and older.The score is based on how urgently you will need a liver transplant within the next three months.The number is calculated by a formula using three routine lab test results: bilirubin, INR and creatinine.he Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD).

If you become an active liver transplant candidate, your name will be placed on a waiting list. Patients are listed according to blood type, body size, and medical condition (how ill they are).Each patient is given a priority score based on three simple blood tests (creatinine, bilirubin, and INR). small group of patients who are critically ill from acute liver disease have the highest priority on the waiting list. It's impossible to predict how long a patient will wait for a liver to become available.
