Steroid-sparing maintenance immunosuppression is safe and effective after simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation.

abstract：:Liver transplant (LT) outcomes are reported to be improving in non-HCV recipients but not for those infected with HCV. Our aim was to evaluate graft survival and predictors of outcome in HCV and non-HCV patients before and after 2003. Patients with primary LT between February 1, 1998, and December 31, 2005, were inclu...
