1 , 2 Since introduction of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scoring system for organ allocation in liver transplant candidates in 2002, the incidence of renal dysfunction among liver transplant recipients has been significantly increasing, contributing to an increasing trend in simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLK) after 2002. 3 – 5 AKI affects 25% to 50% of liver transplant recipients, while CKD develops in 30% to 90% and risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) is in the range of 2% to 5% per year after transplantation. 6 Native kidney function recovery following liver transplantation alone (LTA) is difficult to predict, and indications for SLK transplantation are not precisely defined.

The expressions of GbTCP26 , GbTCP43 , and GbTCP44 showed an increasing trend from days 5 to 20, with the highest expression detected on day 20, which suggests the involvement of these three genes in the secondary wall synthesis phase of development.

The rate of each treatment failure, based on the time of follow-ups, indicated an increasing trend in regard to the total failures ( Table 3 ); however, the regression model indicated no significant effect of the follow-up time on the failure rate ( p = 0.604). 3.
