Comparison of Renal Allograft Outcomes in Combined Liver-Kidney Transplantation versus subsequent Kidney Transplantation in Liver Transplant Recipient
Transplantation. 82: 1298-1303, 2006
There may be an allograft-enhancing effect by the liver on the renal allograft in the setting of simultaneous combined liver-kidney transplantation (CLKT) from the same donor.
