In this article, we describe the new policy, elaborate on the points of greatest controversy, and offer a perspective on the policy going forward. Although we applaud the fact that simultaneous liver-kidney transplant activity will now be monitored and appreciate the creation of medical criteria for allocation in simultaneous liver-kidney transplants, we argue that some of the criteria proposed, especially those for allocating a kidney to a liver recipient with AKI, are too liberal. We call on the nephrology community to follow the consequences of this new policy and push for a re-examination of the longstanding policy of allocating kidneys to multiorgan transplant recipients before all other candidates. The charge to protect our system of equitable organ allocation is very challenging, but it is a challenge that we must embrace.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2215\/cjn.08480816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,27]],"date-time":"2016-12-27T20:30:18Z","timestamp":1482870618000},"page":"848-852","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["New
