MELD and the Waiting List for Liver Transplant |
 | | MELD is a numerical scale used for adult liver transplant candidates. |
| | When a patient moves to a higher MELD score, the waiting time at the lower level is not carried to the new level. |
| | Currently, the average MELD score for a patient undergoing a liver transplant is 20 nationally. |
