Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation: Impact on Liver Transplant Patients and the Kidney Transplant Waiting List
Purpose The number of simultaneous liver-kidney transplants (SLKT) performed in the USA has been rising. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network implemented a new policy governing SLKT that specifies eligibility criteria for candidates to receive a kidney with a liver, and creates a kidney waitlist "safety net" for liver recipients with persistent renal failure after transplant.

متن کاملSimultaneous Liver—Kidney Transplantation
In 2014, simultaneous liver kidney transplants (SLK) accounted for 8.2 % of all liver transplants performed in the USA. Prior to introduction of the model of end stage liver disease (MELD) system, SLK accounted for 2.5 % in 2001 and only 1.7 % in 1990.

متن کاملPropensity score-based survival benefit of simultaneous liver-kidney transplant over liver transplant alone for recipients with pretransplant renal dysfunction.
The survival benefit of simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) over liver transplantation alone (LTA) is unclear from the current literature. Additionally, the role of donor kidney quality, measured by the kidney donor risk index (KDRI), in survival benefit of SLKT is not studied. We compared survival benefit after SLKT and LTA among recipients with similar pretransplant renal dysfunc...
متن کاملLong-Term Outcomes of Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant Patients with Hepatitis B Compared to with Liver Transplant Alone
BACKGROUND The number and survival rate of simultaneous liver-kidney transplant (SLKT) recipients have increased dramatically since 2002. However, the long-term effectiveness of SLKT in patients with hepatitis B is unknown.

متن کاملSimultaneous pancreas kidney transplant versus other kidney transplant options in patients with type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Current organ allocation policy prioritizes placement of kidneys (with pancreas) to patients listed for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may undergo SPK, but it is unknown whether these patients enjoy a survival advantage with SPK versus deceased-donor kidney transplantation alone (DDKA) or living-donor k...
