How can a liver transplant list work?

State and federal: There is generally a state organisation for each region, and a federal organisation. You can look up more detailed and accurate information at: http://www.Unos.Org/

By MELD score: Priority for organ allocation to patients on liver transplant waiting list is determined by meld (model for end-stage liver disease) score, which is obtained by entering 3 of the patients' lab values (creatinine, bilirubin, and prothrombin time) into a formula. The higher the meld score the patient has, the "higher" the patients is on the list. Length of time on wait list doesn't count.
