Over a five-year period in the US, simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation was associated with significantly lower kidney graft survival compared to paired kidney-alone transplants. Most differences in graft survival between simultaneous liver-kidney and kidney-alone transplants occurred within the first-year post-transplantation. In contrast, kidney-after-liver transplants had comparable graft survival to paired kidney-alone transplants.
