| * Units of transfusion during operation: RBC – packed red blood cell; FFP – fresh frozen plasma; PC – platelet concentrates; Cryo – cryoprecipitate. ** DGF: delayed graft function is defined as the need for at least one or more dialysis sessions after kidney transplantation. *** Bleeding: postoperative bleeding that required surgical intervention. SLKT – simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation; ICU – Intensive Care Unit; HD – hemodialysis; MELD – model for end-stage liver disease. | |||||
