Combined liver kidney transplant indications
Current indications for combined liver and kidney transplantation in adults Overall long-term outcome following CLKT is acceptable. There is an urgent need to further refine our ability to identify the cases with reversible renal injury in the setting of end-stage liver disease to avoid unnecessary CLKT combined liver-kidney transplantation is the only therapeutic option. However, in these patients, it is mandatory to distinguish between chronic and acute renal failure prior to transplantation, because acute renal failure may recover after successful liver transplantation. In this study we investigated the indications
Current indications for combined liver and kidney
- We continue to believe, however, that cadaveric kidney transplants are a scarce resource which must be used judiciously. Although exact indications for combined LKTx are not yet clearly defined, primary oxaluria type I and polycystic liver and kidney disease may be two disease processed that appear to be adequately treated with combined LKTx

Kidney injury is frequently seen in patients with end-stage liver disease from cirrhosis and liver failure. Among selected patients, simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) transplantation provides improved post-transplant graft and patient outcomes compared to liver transplantation (LT) alone transplant readiness by strict adherence to all advice from the transplant center, the treating nephrologist and the dialysis center should be emphasized • Patients with primary oxalosis with ESRD should be considered for combined liver/kidney transplant (Eason et al., 2008; Compagnon et al., 2014) Abstract. The outcome of patients with cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease treated with combined liver-kidney transplantation (CLKT) is not well known because most series of patients treated with CLKT include not only patients with cirrhosis but also patients with inherited diseases without cirrhosis Hypothesis Combined liver-kidney transplantation is safe (low morbidity and acceptable mortality) and effective in patients with end-stage liver disease. Although refinements in surgical technique have resulted in better patient and allograft outcomes, the negative impact of renal insufficiency on survival in patients undergoing liver transplantation has been widely reported, although some. Combined Liver and Kidney Transplantation (CLKT) is increasingly offered especially since the introduction of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). Decision to perform CLKT is straightforward when both organs suffer end-stage failure. However, the indications for CLKT are not well defined and there is controversy concerning some
[Combined liver and kidney transplantation: indications
- Combined liver-kidney transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease and underlying chronic kidney disease, or prolonged acute kidney injury. Due to physiologic changes secondary to portal hypertension in patients with end-stage liver disease, kidney injury is c

- In a large series of 3520 patients evaluated between 1984-2008, the main indications for combined liver kidney transplantation were: hiperoxaluria type 1 (42.7%), liver cirrhosis and chronic renal failure (23.5%), polycystic liver and kidney disease (15.5%), liver cirrhosis with hepatorenal syndrome (7.1%) and end stage liver disease with renal failure of unknown cause (6%)
- Indications for Combined Liver/Kidney Transplant Current indications for simultaneous liver/kidney (SLK) transplant are based on the degree and duration of renal injury, duration of need for renal replacement therapy, degree of proteinuria, and renal biopsy findings, if available
- In some patients, kidney transplantation alone is not optimal treatment. Combined kidney-pancreas transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients who have type 1 diabetes and ESRD. Candidates for this combined procedure are typically younger than 50 years and do not have significant coronary artery disease (CAD). At present, pancreas graft survival is worse in recipients of pancreas.
- To investigate the feasibility of a similar approach with combined kidney-liver transplantation, we identified 22 dual-kidney liver transplantations (DKLTs) and 3044 single-kidney liver transplantations (SKLTs) performed in the United States between 2002 and 2012 using United Network for Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement and Transplantation.
Combined liver-kidney transplantation: What are the
- The frequency of combined liver-kidney transplantation (CLKT) has consequently increased. Indications for CLKT in children differ from those for adults and typically include rare congenital conditions; subsequently limited numbers of this procedure have been performed in paediatric patients worldwide. Scant literature exists on the subject
- In ARPKD, mutations in the PKHD1 gene lead to remodeling of the kidneys and liver. These may result in progressive liver fibrosis with portal hypertension requiring combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKT). There is currently no consensus on the indication for CLKT and data on long‐term outcomes are scarce
- In metabolic diseases where the defect lies in liver and the organ affected is kidney, it is logical to transplant both simultaneously. Few case reports, support sequential transplantation, as it reduces nephrotoxic metabolite before kidney transplant and there is no need to use renal sparing immunosuppressants
- The most common indications were polycystic kidney-liver disease and primary hyperoxaluria. However, most reports do not give details of the status of liver disease in these patients undergoing..
