Marit Kalisvaart, Andrea Schlegel, Palak J. Trivedi, Keith Roberts, Darius F. Mirza, Thamara Perera, John I. Isaac, James Ferguson, Jeroen Jonge, Paolo Muiesan – 4 April 2019 – The use of extended criteria donor (ECD) grafts has been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after liver transplantation.
