I didn't even know it was possible to have such a dramatic change in your MELD score. I was put on the list when first diagnosed with a MELD score of 26. I didn't drink and followed a regime set out by my transplant team. My score just continued to rise and had my transplant 7 months ago. Shows how we are all so different in our journey.

If there is a condition in your liver that is fixable then a lower MELD score is possible and desired if changes can be made. HEP-C, drug, alcohol and diet (choices) are the most common ones. The HEP-C medicines have made great strides in "curing" HEP-C, which I got from the transplanted liver.
