On August 10, UNOS will implement a new policy regarding simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) allocation. This new policy, approved by the Board of Directors in June 2016, is the result of over a decade of work drafting proposed language, data analysis, and consensus building. The policy will require liver and kidney programs to report new data on the liver and kidney waiting lists and will also require OPOs to check eligibility status prior to allocating a kidney with a liver.
