Outcomes of patients with hepatitis C undergoing simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation
Journal of Hepatology, 11/04/09

Wagner LBV et al. – The authors demonstrate increased early complications in SLK versus LTA recipients, likely due to being more critically ill at transplant (higher MELD) and complications unrelated to HCV within the first year. However, long–term outcomes, i.e. HCV recurrence, graft/renal dysfunction, are similar to LTA. In addition, while data are limited, treatment of HCV recurrence with interferon appeared safe in SLK recipients.
