Liver: MELD score is the score liver doctors use to give prognosis. It uses Serum creatinine, INR and Tbil. I am going to assume you have a normal INR and serum creatinine . Your MELD sore is about 10. Which is low and is associated with a less than 4 percent mortality in 3 months. See what ultrasound shows. Remember one thing you can control is weight and diet. You can improve that!
