6.9 percent chance of mortality in 90 days
In a hospital setting, an estimated 3-month mortality is predicted with the help of the MELD scoring value.
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score predicts 3-month mortality in patients with liver disease. A MELD score of 20 suggests a 19% 3-month mortality risk, but it does not provide specific information about life expectancy. Life expectancy can vary based on individual health factors, disease progression, and treatment response. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for a more accurate prognosis.
Life expectancy of an individual with cirrhosis is measured by the MELD score (modelling end stage liver disease). It is an algebraic formula which used blood test results etc... to estimate life expectancy. Details of the MELD calculator can be found on the "related links".
Don't worry about the quantity of years; instead focus on your quality of life and living the best life for you that you can since it is not known the exact average life expectancy for someone who is a liver transplant recipient.

Would be estimated by MELD scoring. (Modelling end stage liver disease). An algorithm for estimating life expectancy in patients with cirrhosis. Please see related link for MELD calculator.
Liver cirrhosis is one such disease.
Life expectancy with cirrhosis is estimated with MELD scoring - Modelling of End-stage Liver Disease. It is an algorithm, based on blood test results and some other factors which is used to estimate life expectancy. Please see related link for MELD calculator.
If your liver shuts down your eyes will turn yellow.
Ray Charles died of liver disease.
If someone chooses to be an alcoholic forever, they'll die of liver cancer.Not necessarily cancer but definitely liver disease such as liver cirrhosis. Long-term over use of alcohol can also cause pancreatitis.
Symptoms of liver disease include jaundice (yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes) and abdominal pain. For treatment, see a doctor; the Internet is no substitute for someone who spent twelve years going to school for medicine.
