Team what's happening

Zach here back for another week of med geeks podcast so last week we talked

about scoring systems we went over neuro respiratory cardiac this week I want to

take it home with GI renal endo hemon can ID so let's just jump

right into it. So GI. A very common GI will actually hepatology scoring

system that's used frequently in the hospital is the Meld score which stands for model for end stage liver disease and this is used to stratify the mortality risk in patients with end-stage liver disease,

a most likely awaiting transplant.

So it looks at dialysis status, karateenin,

I and R, Billy Rubin, and sodium.

So all kind of markers that you want to look at with

someone with liver disease so I'm not going to go over the exact scoring system

and the calculations but I want you to know meld score liver

patient dialysis status cratine i n r Billy rubin and sodium so check these

labs daily in patients with liver disease.

So renal.

This is where the biggest scoring systems come from,

at least ones that I use.

So first, you got to remember that anti-incap equation,

okay?

This is huge. Someone has a metabolic acidosis you want to see if they

have an increased gap member everybody's body has an anion gap but you want to see if that's increased. How you calculate it?

sodium minus chloride plus bicarb. I don't even include
