OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of isolated liver and combined liver and kidney transplantation in a retrospective series of 32 patients with hepatorenal liver and kidney disease. METHODS A retrospective observational study that enrolled patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD) and polycystic liver and kidney disease (PLKD) who were evaluated for transplantation between January 1999 and December 2019 at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona [Clinical Hospital of Barcelona]. RESULTS We included a total of 53 patients enrolled, 32 (60.3%) had indication for transplantation, of which 12 received a single liver transplant and 20 received a double liver and kidney transplant. The mean age was 52 years and 83.9% of the recipients were women. The main indication for liver transplantation was disabling symptomatic hepatomegaly (93.5%). Among the postoperative complications, in the combined liver and kidney transplant group, hepatic artery thrombosis in one case and renal artery thrombosis in other were detected. In both groups there was one case of inferior vena cava lesion. Three patients presented acute cellular rejection responding to corticosteroids and one presented humoral rejection which was treated with plasmapheresis. During the follow-up period of 80 (27-121) months, the liver transplant survival rate was 100% and the kidney transplant survival rate was 90%. Two patients in the combined liver and kidney transplant group died (one due to cardiovascular causes and the other due to intestinal adenocarcinoma). CONCLUSIONS Isolated liver transplantation or combined liver and kidney transplantation in selected patients with polycystic disease yields excellent results, with few complications, very good transplant survival and excellent patient survival (93.8%).
