Non-Renal Factors Associated with Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant in Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease and Stage 3-5 Chronic Kidney Disease Not Requiring DialysisAbstract We aimed to identify the non-renal risk factors for simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) vs. liver transplantation alone (LTA) in end-stage liver disease (ESLD) patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min, not on dialysis. Using organ procurement and transplan [...] 405 4223 |
