Is your fibrosis score considered along with your MELD score when being considered for a liver transplant?

Is your fibrosis score considered along with your MELD score when being considered for a liver transplant?

I have F3 fibrosis with a MELD score of 14. Do they consider your liver grade and staging when being considered for getting on the list? Does age and blood type factor in when deciding where to put you on the list? ( I have a rare blood type thats why I ask.) Any answers would be very helpful as I know very little about the details of the order of the list. Thank you

My MELD score is 30-39
Mt Fibrosure F3-F4 for fibrosis-Cirrhosis (bridging)
I got this on two seperate reports so I think they are independent.

Sorry, I mis-understood question.  I believe the Meld score determines the likelihood of Mortality due to Cirrhosis-fibrosis so I would imagine this is all taken in as a whole.
