The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, or MELD, is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease.It was initially developed to predict mortality within three months of surgery in patients who had undergone a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure, [1] and was subsequently found to be useful in determining prognosis and prioritizing for receipt of ...
Liver failure is the inability of the liver to perform its normal synthetic and metabolic functions as part of normal physiology. Two forms are recognised, acute and chronic (cirrhosis). [ 1] Recently, a third form of liver failure known as acute-on-chronic liver failure ( ACLF) is increasingly being recognized. [ 2]
Treatment. Liver transplant. Acute liver failure is the appearance of severe complications rapidly after the first signs (such as jaundice) of liver disease, and indicates that the liver has sustained severe damage (loss of function of 80–90% of liver cells).

[ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ] Damage to the liver leads to repair of liver tissue ...
Stages of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, progressing from healthy, to steatosis (fat accumulation), inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease ( MASLD ), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ), [ a ] is a type of chronic liver disease.
A self-expandable metallic stent has yet to be placed over the wire. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt ( TIPS or TIPSS) is an artificial channel within the liver that establishes communication between the inflow portal vein and the outflow hepatic vein. It is used to treat portal hypertension (which is often due to liver cirrhosis ...
