Core Tip	Recurrence of pancreatic autoantibodies after kidney-pancreas transplantation is a disturbing finding. It was estimated that half of the immunological losses of pancreas grafts may be due to autoimmunity. There is a rising investigational effort concerning this issue. At our unit, we have designed a protocol of prospective monitoring of pancreatic autoantibodies after transplantation. In our experience, patients with positive pancreatic autoantibodies, compared to negative patients, were more likely to present higher HbA1c and lower C-peptide levels. A review of the most important publications in this field, and about the interest of pancreatic autoantibodies monitoring after transplantation, was made.
