MELD Score: the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease | How to Calculate and Interpret MELD Score

In this video, we dive into the MELD Score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease), a crucial tool used to assess the severity of liver disease and prioritize patients for liver transplant. The MELD score is based on three key lab values: bilirubin, INR (International Normalized Ratio), and creatinine levels. We’ll explain how this score is calculated, what the different MELD score ranges mean, and how it helps doctors make critical decisions regarding treatment and liver transplant eligibility. Whether you're studying hepatology or just want to know more about liver health, this video is for you!
