Kaplan-Meier patient survival analysis at 1 year based on MELD category. In each MELD category survival was compared among three transplant recipient groups (group 1: creatinine < 1.5 receiving liver alone, group 2: creatinine > 1.5 receiving liver alone and group 3: creatinine > 1.5 receiving simultaneous liver kidney. Log rank test P values (statistically significant < 0.05) are: 16 - 20 (1 vs. 2); 21 - 25 (1 vs. 2 and 1 vs. 3); 26 - 30 (1 vs. 2); 31 - 35 (1 vs. 2 and 1 vs. 3); 36 - 40 (1 vs. 2 and 1 vs. 3).
