Deceased Organ Donors and PHS Risk Identification: Impact on Organ Usage and Outcomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplantation plays an important role in treating kidney failure in patients with end-stage liver disease. It used 5% of deceased donor kidney transplanted in 2015. We evaluated the utility, defined as posttransplant kidney allograft lifespan, of this practice. METHODS:Usin...
