End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) after liver transplantation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This increase in mortality can be offset by performing a kidney transplant at the time of the liver transplant in select cases. Accordingly, Margreiter and colleague; s performed the first simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplant in 1983. The number of SLK transplants has increased by more than 300% since then. In 1990%, 1.7% of all liver transplants in the United States were SLK transplants which increased to 9.9% by 2016. This steep increase was likely due to the implementation of the model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) scoring system in 2002, which is heavily weighted by serum creatinine.
肝移植后终末期肾病(ESKD)与高发病率和死亡率相关。在某些情况下,通过在肝移植时进行肾移植可以抵消这种死亡率的增加。因此,1983年Margreiter及其同事进行了首例同期肝肾(SLK)联合移植。从那时起,SLK联合移植的数量增加了300%以上。在1990年,美国所有肝移植中有1.7%是SLK联合移植,到2016年这一比例增至9.9%。这种急剧增加可能是由于2002年实施了终末期肝病模型(MELD)评分系统,该系统中血清肌酐占比很大。
