MELD‐GRAIL‐Na: Glomerular Filtration Rate and Mortality on Liver‐Transplant Waiting List

Background and Aims Among patients with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation, prediction of wait-list (WL) mortality is adjudicated by the Model for End Stage Liver Disease–Sodium (MELD-Na) score. Replacing serum creatinine (SCr) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the MELD-Na score may improve prediction of WL mortality, especially for women and highest disease severity. Approach and Results We developed (2014) and validated...
