In January 2019, my Meld score was 26. I went on a Vegetarian diet, and increased my exercise 1-4 miles daily walking. I already gave up drinking and smoking in Oct 2018. Blood work several weeks ago showed a decreased Meld score of 12. Doctor says unless my score is higher, they may not take me as a transplant candidate. My question is. Is such an improvement in labs and Meld score an indication that liver is healing itself and starting to regrow healthy tissue. Thanks for reading and any input. John.
