MELD Score
Expert Tip
MELD scores range from 6 to 40. Patients with scores ≥ 15 are generally placed on the liver transplant priority list.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
Calculates points using natural logs of liver and renal labs. Sodium correction is applied for values < 137.

ℹ️ About this Calculation
This clinical oncology calculator provides chemotherapy dosing precision, tumor staging risk stratification, performance status scoring, and prognostic index evaluation based on ASCO and NCCN clinical guidelines.
Variable Glossary
Oncology & Lab Data
Serum creatinine/eGFR, target AUC, GFR (Calvert formula), BSA (m²), tumor size/grade, or biopsy scores.
Prognostic Index
Calculated dose (mg), ECOG grade (0-5), Nottingham Index score, or 10-year cancer risk percentage.
How to Calculate Step-by-Step
Step 1
Enter patient body surface area, GFR/creatinine clearance, or histopathological biopsy findings.
Step 2
Specify target AUC dose parameters or patient functional performance status options.
Step 3
Review calculated chemotherapy total mg dose, risk stratification category, or survival probability estimates.
