1. Hyponatremia increases the score
Hepatology traineeBackground
A trainee wants to see how sodium below 137 mmol/L changes a patient’s base MELD(i).
Problem
Calculate MELD-Na from creatinine 1.5 mg/dL, bilirubin 3.0 mg/dL, INR 1.8, and sodium 130 mmol/L.
How to use
Enter the four laboratory values, leave dialysis unchecked, and run the calculation.
{"creatinine":1.5,"bilirubin":3.0,"inr":1.8,"sodium":130,"dialysis":false,"decimalPlaces":4}Outcome
The tool returns MELD-Na 25 with base MELD(i) 21 and indicates that the sodium adjustment was applied.
