The pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score and model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has been used as predictors of mortality chronic liver diseases listed for liver transplantation. The aim of this study is evaluation of relation be...

Coagulation defects in liver disease.

By the introduction of the one-stage prothrombin test in 1935 Quick first devised a measure of the coagulation defect in liver disease (Quick, Stanley-Brown, and Bancroft, 1935). He subsequently (1938) pointed out that failure to absorb vitamin K in obstructive jaundice or failure to synthesize prothrombin in disease caused by parenchymatous liver-cell damage was the cause of the prolonged one-...
