Core Tip	In this work, we evaluated the clinical characteristics of end-stage biliary disease (ESBD) and demonstrated that ESBD comprises a subset of disease that significantly differs from end-stage liver disease (ESLD), which is caused by hepatitis and cirrhosis. However, previous research on ESBD has been classified within the category of ESLD. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) does not adequately measure the clinical characteristics and stages of patients with ESBD before liver transplantation. Patients with ESBD would be less likely to receive priority for liver transplantation, and thus, the allocation system based on the MELD score is inappropriate and should be re-evaluated for patients with ESBD. In addition, the concept of ESBD and the indications for liver transplantation are established in this paper.
