Jeanne5009, Pre- liver Transplant my meld score was 10 to 15 for 8 years. My personal experiences is such that in the beginning my illness presented as a esophageal varasies. Life style changes extended my time without symptoms of end stage liver disease. I had no worries until Acidies kicked in a year before my transplant. At that point I put my house in order.

Luckonetj did you have PSC? My son with PSC had a blocked bile duct & cholangitis last December. His MELD was 34 at that time. He was evaluated & placed on the transplant list. Since then he has stabilized with a MELD of 13. His best chance for a transplant now would be a living donor. His doctors monitor him closely, especially for esophageal varices & acsites.
