Impact of MELD score implementation on liver allocation: experience at a Brazilian center

Annals of Hepatology, 2013
Introduction. Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is an accurate predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhosis, and has been used on liver allocation in Brazil since 2006. However, its impact on organ allocation, waiting list and post-transplant

Management of Satellite Lesions in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Updated Review

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Satellite lesions, defined as microscopic or small macroscopic tumor nodules within 2 cm of a primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), represent early intrahepatic dissemination and are strongly associated with aggressive tumor biology.

Exploring the Lung-Liver Axis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. [PDF]

Compr Physiol
Among PAH patients without liver disease, subclinical liver dysfunction quantified by MELD‐Na associates with higher pulmonary vascular resistance and inflammatory activation of the pulmonary endothelium, characterized by an IL‐6‐centered transcriptional network enriched for leukocyte chemotaxis.

Assessment of MELD Scores as Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease with Variceal Hemorrhage at a third-level care center.

Annals of Hepatology
Introduction and Objectives: The variceal hemorrhage is the most common cause of decompensation in patients with chronic liver disease. Hemoglobin level has been used to classify severity; however, it is unreliable.
