MELD and UKELD score

[Trish02]

Hello everyone, I have Autoimmune hepatitis and have progressed to cirrhosis. I have a MELD score of 23 but i’m not sure how to get my UKELD score. I googled a calculator for UKELD score but it took me to a MELD calculator. My hepatologist is seeing me in 3 minths and I just want to find out where I stand if I need to be thinking of a transplant in the future as the drugs I’m on aren't controlling my condition. My hep dr did mention to me a few months ago a transplant maybe be on the horizon.

You can get an NHS UKELD calculator at:- odt.nhs.uk/transplantation/...

Listing for transplant in the UK doesn't just rely on UKELD any longer but they also look at the Transplant Benefit Score. My hubby was listed on 26th January of this year due to AIH/Cryptogenic related cirrhosis (we have never been told any of his scores).
