Serum sodium (Na) has been suggested for incorporation into the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) to enhance its prognostic ability for patients with cirrhosis. Three Na-containing models--the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease with the incorporation of serum sodium (MELD-Na), the integrated M
Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score-based allocation systems have been adopted by most countries in Europe and North America. Indeed, the MELD score is a robust marker of early mortality for patients with cirrhosis. Except for extreme values, high pretransplant MELD scores do not signific
With interest, we read the article by Xiol et al. 1 regarding differences in serum measurements between different laboratories and their influence on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease incorporating serum sodium (MELD-Na). They reported significant
