It is shown that the lesser and greater self energies and Green functions calculated in a recent work on universal noequilibrium transport in interacting quantum dots [E. Mu~noz, C. J. Bolech, and S. Kirchner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 016601 (2013)] are incorrect. The authors start from renormalized second-order perturbation theory in the Coulomb repulsion in the particle-hole symmetric impurity Anderson model. The reported lesser self-energy is compared with the correct one, and with an analytic result valid for small frequency and applied voltage. As a consequence of the mistakes, the conservation of the current is not established and the results are unreliable.
