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 ...
The ISI is usually between 0.94 and 1.4 for more sensitive and 2.0–3.0 for less sensitive thromboplastins. [5] [6] [7] The INR is the ratio of a patient's prothrombin time to a normal (control) sample, raised to the power of the ISI value for the analytical system being used.
In patients with liver disease, international normalized ratio (INR) can be used as a marker of liver synthetic function as it includes factor VII, which has the shortest half life (2–6 hours) of all coagulation factors measured in INR. An elevated INR in patients with liver disease, however, does not necessarily mean the patient has a ...
INR self-monitoring is a medical kit that is used by patients both on long-term and on lifetime anti-coagulation therapy to measure their INR (International Normalized Ratio) levels themselves at your premises without going to a clinic. People who self-monitor their INR levels use a portable INR monitor as in a clinic.

Prospective studies have shown that it is useful in predicting short term prognosis, especially mortality within 30 days. [3] A value more than 32 implies poor outcome with one month mortality ranging between 35% and 45%. [4]
