Renal Function in Receptors With Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant From the Same Donor.

Unlabelled: Controversy surrounds the suitability of simultaneous liver-kidney transplant (SLKT) when compared with sequential transplant. Pretransplant renal failure is a post-transplant mortality predictor, and studies demonstrate worse functioning and lower survival of the renal graft when compared with kidney transplant alone (KTA).

Background: This study compares renal function in patients with SLKT and those who received the contralateral kidney from the same donor.

Liver Transplantation in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Long-Term Survival Results.

Background: Liver transplant (LT) is the treatment of choice for patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria. Its applicability is limited by the risk for recurrence and the impact on waiting lists. We aimed to describe our results in patients with LT due to HCC and to evaluate its long-term survival outcomes.
