MELD SCORE: Entries < 1.0 are set to 1.0 for the purposes of the MELD score calculation.
At the July 2001 meeting of the Liver and Intestinal Organ Transplantation Committee, the Committee agree to the 0.643 points for etiology to all patients in order to make the MELD score comparable to previously published data.
*For patients who have had dialysis twice, or 24 hours of CVVHD (within the last week), the creatinine value will be automatically set to 4.0mg/dL.
