DOI: 10.1002/lt.26523
Abstract: The burden of early hospitalization (within 6 months) following simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) is not known. We examined risk factors associated with early hospitalization after SLKT and their impact on patient mortality conditional on 6‐month… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11695-017-2634-5
Abstract: Previously, many morbidly obese (MO) patients were denied liver transplantation (LT) because of the higher operative risk. However, nowadays, 5 and 10 years graft survival is the rule, and patients whose lives can be prolonged with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2021.01.043
Abstract: BACKGROUND There are little data to compare the post-transplant survival between lung-liver transplant (LLT) and liver-alone recipients. This study was undertaken to compare survival between LLT and liver-alone transplant. METHODS UNOS data for patients undergoing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2018.12.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation is lifesaving, however, the utility of allocating 2 organs to a single recipient remains controversial, particularly in the face of potentially inferior survival. This study aims to determine the effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mcg.0000000000000818
Abstract: Background and Aim: Data are scanty on allocating simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) based on model for end-stage disease (MELD) score. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) are frequent in cirrhosis patients. We analyzed transplant recipients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000004404
Abstract: Background. Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) is increasingly used for patients with concurrent end-stage liver and renal disease. Emerging evidence suggests that simultaneous liver transplant can provide a tolerogenic benefit to multiorgan transplant recipients. Posttransplant donor-specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.15655
Abstract: Simultaneous liver‐kidney transplantation (SLKT) is indicated for patients with end‐stage liver disease (ESLD) and concurrent renal insufficiency. En bloc SLKT is an alternative to traditional separate implantations, but studies comparing the two techniques are limited.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14700
Abstract: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) implemented medical eligibility and safety‐net policy on 8/10/17 to optimize simultaneous liver‐kidney (SLK) utilization. We examined impact of this policy on SLK listings and number of kidneys used within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14812
Abstract: Severe renal dysfunction is common among liver transplant (LT) candidates and often prompts simultaneous liver‐kidney transplantation (SLKT) consideration. In view of 2017 United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) criteria for SLKT, we investigated the likelihood… read more here.
