@benlam11 The MELD score is for liver -- it stands for "MELD Score (Model For End-Stage Liver Disease) (12 and older)". There is also a PELD for pediatric livers.

Here is a calculator for it: https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/resources/allocation-calculators/meld-calculator/

The MELD at which transplants occur varies a lot from one region to another - there are 11 regions I believe. I think Arizona is pretty good. I was in Boston which at that time generally did not transplant livers until the MELD was in the 30s but I was fortunate to get my transplant at MELD 28. I believe that my blood type helped with that. It's B. I think B, A and AB generally get transplanted sooner than type 0 because when a liver becomes available they look at who is next on the list with a matching blood type. If the liver is from a type O donor, that liver can go to anyone, whereas an O recipient can only get an O liver. At least that's my understanding of it.

@benlam11, Here is a link to the Mayo Connect Transplant Pages that I want to share with you since you said that you are at the beginning of a possible transplant journey. I think that you will find a variety of transplant related information that is presented by the transplant staff. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/transplant/
