Background: Most end stage liver disease patients suffer from concomitant renal insufficiency. We aimed to study influence of donor age on outcomes in elderly liver transplant recipients with renal dysfunction. Methods: Retrospective data of elderly (≥60 years) liver recipients from national United Network for Organ Sharing registry (2002-2017) were analyzed.
