Addition of serum sodium into the MELD score predicts waiting list mortality better than MELD alone.
In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of serum sodium and hyponatremia (< or =130 mEq/L) in 262 cirrhotic patients consecutively listed, 19 of which died (7%), 175 survived (67%), and 68 underwent liver transplantation (26%) during 3 months of follow-up. Hyponatremia was present in 63% of patients who died, compared to 13% of those who survived (P < .001), whereas the proportion w...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of Ascites and Serum Sodium in Patients with Low Meld Scores
OBJECTIVE to determine ascites and serum sodium significance in short term mortality prediction in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis. METHODS a cohort of 115 cirrhotic patients referred to our Department were followed up for 6 months in non-transplant settings. The c index equivalent to the area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) was calculated and compared to estimate the short-te...
متن کاملResponse to "MELD score and serum sodium in the prediction of survival of patients with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation".
BACKGROUND/AIMS Serum sodium predicts prognosis in cirrhosis and may improve the prognostic accuracy of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, but the available information is limited. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of serum sodium in the prediction of survival at 3 and 12 months after listing in patients with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantatio...
متن کاملSerum sodium based modification of the MELD does not improve prediction of outcome in acute liver failure
BACKGROUND Acute liver failure (ALF) is a devastating clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate. The MELD score has been implied as a prognostic tool in ALF. Hyponatremia is associated with lethal outcome in ALF. Inclusion of serum sodium (Na) into the MELD score was found to improve its predictive value in cirrhotic patients. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine whether inclusio...
متن کاملOuabain and serum sodium.
Ouabain and Serum Sodium To the Editor: Sodium-dependent mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. He et al recently demonstrated that in normotensive and hypertensive subjects an acute reduction in salt intake, from 350 to 10 mmol/d for 5 days, was associated with a decline in serum sodium by 3 mmol/L. Conversely, a progressive increase in salt intake from 10 to 250 mmol/d by...
