Allocation of livers for people on the waiting list is by MELD score. The score is made by three lab tests performed at routine labs, T bilirubin, INR, and creatine. The sicker oneâs liver the higher the score.The highest score in a region is offered available livers. The average time to get a liver transplant after being placed on the list in the US is 20 months but actual time is solely dependent on MELD score.he highest score in a region is offered available livers. The average time to get a liver transplant after being placed on the list in the US is 20 months but actual time is solely dependent on MELD score.
When a patient moves to a higher MELD score, the waiting time at the lower level is not carried to the new level. The clock at the new level starts at 0. (Example: Patient has a MELD score of 15 and has been at level 11-18 for 100 days. With new laboratory tests, the patientâs MELD score is 22.aiting time is only a factor when patients have the same MELD score. In summary, the priority of an individual patient on the UNOS waiting list for a donor liver depends on the following factors: 1  Local versus distant (donor organs are first offered locally within the Northern California/Bay Area).
