The international normalized ratio calibrated for cirrhosis (INRliver) normalizes prothrombin time results for model for end‐stage liver disease calculation

The model for end‐stage‐liver‐disease (MELD) is a mathematical score used to prioritize patients for liver transplantation and includes results for creatinine, bilirubin, and prothrombin time (PT) expressed as international normalized ratio (INR). The rationale of using the MELD rests on the assumpt...
