Abstract
The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is considered to be a good predictor of disease status in patients with end-stage liver disease and has been used for organ distribution in liver transplantation. This article briefly describes the relationship between MELD, MELD-Na score and the mortality of patients waiting for liver transplantation, the intraoperative blood transfusion, the survival, complications, and re-transplantation after liver transplantation.
Key words:
End stage liver disease; Liver transplantation; MELD-Na score; Postoperative complications
