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.

How will it be used? The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a numerical scale, rangingfrom 6 (less ill) to 40 (gravely ill), used for liver transplant candidates age12 and older. It gives each person a âscoreâ (number) based on how urgentlyhe or she needs a liver transplant within the next three months.ost candidates will have their MELD score assesseda number of times while they are on the waiting list. This will help ensurethat donated livers go to the patients in greatest need at that moment.MELD has been shown to rank patients on the waiting list reliably in termsof their short-term risk of death.
