Abstract

Background: End-stage liver disease (ESLD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) both remain prevalent diseases for which the definitive treatment is transplantation. The increasing number of patients with concurrent ESLD and ESRD has led to the increasing advent of simultaneous liver and kidney transplantations. With a limited organ supply, strategies to maximize organ availability has led to increasing rates of split liver transplantations for ESLD patients. Therefore, simultaneous split liver and kidney transplantations (SSLK) for patients with ESLD and ESRD could represent a treatment option for these patients. However, current practice and outcomes after SSLK are unknown. We aim to report our experience, as well as national trends on transplant recipients undergoing SSLK.
