Meld scores and liver failure symptons

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for replying,we live approx 35 miles east of Austin TX my

husband is listed at University of TX San . He was released last

Thursday from San and continues to lose weight he has lost 4

pounds since being released. The ascites is under control. I

contribute the weight lost to nausea and vomitting he just can't keep

anything down. He sees his hepatolgist in Austin tomorrow and the

following Wednesday another appointment in the transplant center. We

are fortunate to have excellent health insurance he retired from the

Federal government service, if we can't get a few answers we will see

about another transplant center. Jan 08 he weighed 208 some of it was

ascited now he is down to 150 sleeps all day and night when not sick,

weak, his hands will cramp, gaunt looking, no muscle mass. can barely

stand unassisted. I think it helps to put a face to these meld scores

I was surprised his meld was still listed at 12. Thanks
