Abstract
LKT is a safe procedure with favorable outcomes even in patients with a high MELD score. Transplantation of patients with a high MELD score due to regional variations in organ allocation results in additional use of kidneys by OLT patients. Improved organ allocation algorithms in OLT would help to reduce combined transplants, sparing more kidneys.
