  • INR Norm: 0.8 - 1.2
  • Creatinine Norm: 0.7 - 1.3 mg/dL
  • Bilirubin Norm: 5.13 - 32.49 µmol/L
  • Sodium Norm: 136 - 145 mmol/L

FORMULA

UKELD Score = 5.395 × In(INR) + 1.485 × In(creatinine, μmol/L) + 3.13 × In(bilirubin, μmol/L) - 81.565 × In(sodium, mmol/L) + 435

Interpretation:

  • UKELD Score of ≥49 is the cutoff for transplant eligibility in UK, which corresponds to 1-year mortality of >9% without transplantation.
  • UKELD Score of 60 is predictive of 50% 1-year mortality.
