See below: There is a scoring system called meld score (calculated based on bloodwork results: billirubin, creatinine and inr) that is used to allocate donor livers for transplantation and it also has a prognostic value. Ask your mother's GI doctor to calculate her meld score. If it is 10 or higher she can be referred to a transplant center for an evaluation.
