Delayed Graft Function in Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation.

In HCV negative SLK recipients, recipient pretransplant dialysis and components of kidney graft quality comprise significant risk factors for DGF. Regardless of HCV status, DGF is associated with inferior posttransplant outcomes. Understanding these risk factors during clinical decision making may improve prevention of DGF and may represent an opportunity to improve posttransplant outcomes.
