Ten were males and 3 females with an average age of 45.5 years old.Results Four cases of polycystic liver and kidney have all survived for more than one year after SLKT, and one of them has survived for 4 years. The 3 of 4 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and renal failure have survived more than one year, and one of them died perioperatively. The 2 of 5 patients with fulminant hepatic failure and hepatorenal syndrome have survived for one year, and 3 of them died perioperatively.Conclusion SLKT has been the effective therapy for end-stage liver and kindney diseases; The indications of SLKT for hepato-renal syndrome were discussed.
