Kim 2008 NEJM MELD-Na from creatinine, bilirubin, INR, sodium, and dialysis
Kim 2008 NEJM MELD-Na from creatinine, bilirubin, INR, sodium, and dialysis. Then-current UNOS MELD: dialysis sets creatinine 4.0 else clamp 1.0-4.0; bilirubin and INR floor 1.0. Sodium bound 125-140. MELDNa = MELD - Na - 0.025*MELD*(140-Na) + 140. Not OPTN 2016 MELD-Na (Na 125-137 only if MELD>11). Not Kim 2021 MELD 3.0. Not a transplant listing or allocation order.
