The allocation of patients in waiting list for liver transplantation in Brazil follows an urgency criteria, definied by MELD score. This score, however, is failing as mortality predictor in some groups of patients, especially those with hyponatremia. Studies suggested that the incorporation of serum sodium into MELD score, proposing a new score, the MELD-Na. The objective of this study is to evaluate the serum sodium, the MELD, the MELD-Na and the severe hyponatremia as mortality predictors in patients in waiting list for liver transplantation in the State of Ceara in the years of 2007 and 2008. The promptuaries of 145 patients that were in the waiting list were, retrospectively, evaluated, with 85 patients that were transplanted, and 60 wh...
