We performed a retrospective evaluation of 11 patients in the final stages of hepatic disease with chronic kidney failure, in whom simultaneous double liver-kidney transplantation was performed. ⋯ The use of conventional intraoperative hemodialysis and/or ultrafiltration is feasible, useful and achieves good results in patients undergoing double liver-kidney transplantation. Partial clamping of the inferior vena cava at the anhepatic stage appears to reduce the need for ultrafiltration. There is no increase in perioperative mortality in patients who underwent liver transplantation while conserving their renal function.
