From the reading of the title, I thought these were the soft and chewy ones. They weren't. Got them in the mail today, now I need to find some local kids to give these away too.
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). 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 Formula. The MELD Score currently used by United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to prioritize transplant organ follows the following formula: MELD = 3.8[Ln serum bilirubin (mg/dL)] + 11.2[Ln INR] + 9.6[Ln serum creatinine (mg/dL)] + 6.4. Where, Ln is a natural algorithm.
