Liver Dysfunction Assessed by Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Excluding INR (MELD-XI) Scoring System Predicts Adverse Prognosis in Heart Failure
AIMS Liver dysfunction due to heart failure (HF) is often referred to as cardiac or congestive hepatopathy. The composite Model for End-Stage Liver Disease excluding INR (MELD-XI) is a robust scoring system of liver function, and a high score is associated with poor prognosis in advanced HF patients with a heart transplantation and/or ventricular assist device. However, the impact of MELD-XI on...
متن کاملDoes model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) require modification?
Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) measures serum bilirubin (mg/dL), serum albumin (g/dL), International Normalised Ratio (INR) for prothrombin time. MELD score accurately predicts survival in 3 months for cirrhotic patients on the waiting list of liver transplantation. In about 15% of patients, it does not accurately predict survival and hence MELD-Na is recommended. MELD score is a poor...
متن کاملModel for End-stage Liver Disease excluding INR (MELD-XI) score in critically ill patients: Easily available and of prognostic relevance
PURPOSE MELD-XI, an adapted version of Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score excluding INR, was reported to predict outcomes e.g. in patients with acute heart failure. We aimed to evaluate MELD-XI in critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for prognostic relevance. METHODS A total of 4381 medical patients (66±14 years, 2862 male) admitted to a German ICU betw...
متن کاملبررسی ارتباط بین MELD (Model of End Stage Liver Disease) و لیپیدهای سرم در بیماران سیروز جبران نشده (cirrhosis Decompensated)
Background & Aims: The liver plays an essential role in lipid metabolism. For reduced liver biosynthesis capacity, low levels of triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) is usually observed in chronic liver diseases. We conducted this study to determine the relationship between serum lipids and MELD score level in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Materials & Methods: A checklist was prep...
متن کاملThe Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) can predict outcomes in ambulatory patients with advanced heart failure who have been referred for cardiac transplantation evaluation
Risk stratification in heart failure (HF) patients is an important element for management. There are several risk stratification models that can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with HF, such as Aaronson's scale, CVM-HF (CardioVascular Medicine Heart Failure), the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) and the Munich score. These models fail to adequately address the impact of multiorga...
