The average waiting time for a liver transplant is 145 days for adults and 72 days for children. However, your waiting time may be a lot shorter if you are on a high-priority waiting list.In some circumstances, you may be able to shorten your waiting time if a relative, or possibly a friend, has the same blood type as you and is willing to take part in a living donor liver transplant.owever, your waiting time may be a lot shorter if you are on a high-priority waiting list.

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.
