Sudan, Carl Berg, Lisa M. McElroy – 17 March 2021 – Historically in the United States, kidneys for simultaneous liver‐kidney transplantation (SLKT) candidates were allocated with livers, prioritizing SLKT recipients over much of the kidney waiting list. A 2017 change in policy delineated renal function criteria for SLKT and implemented a safety net for kidney‐after‐liver transplantation.

Black Race Is Associated With Higher Rates of Early‐Onset End‐Stage Renal Disease and Increased Mortality Following Liver Transplantation

Meagan Alvarado, Douglas E. Schaubel, K. Rajender Reddy, Therese Bittermann – 17 March 2021 – Black race is a risk factor for end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Racial disparities in the risks of early and long‐term renal complications after liver transplantation (LT) have not been systematically studied. This study evaluated racial differences in the natural history of acute and chronic renal insufficiency after LT. This was a retrospective single‐center cohort study of 763 non‐Hispanic White and 181 Black LT recipients between 2008 and 2017.
