Application to calculate the dose of continuously administereddrug.

Simple MELD score calculator. You can useboth, U.S. (mg/dL) and SI (µmol/l) units. (This application canalso be used for units conversion.) It uses values for serumbilirubin, serum creatinine, and the international normalized ratiofor prothrombin time (INR).The following formula is used for calculation: MELD = 3.78ln(bilirubin [mg/dL]) + 11.2 ln(INR) + 9.57 ln(creatinine [mg/dL])+ 6.43The Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a scoring systemof the severity of chronic liver disease predicting short-termmortality. It was found to be useful in determining prognosis andprioritizing for receipt of a liver transplant.Reference: KAMATH, Patrick S., et al.
