Core Tip |
Vascularized pancreas transplantation is able to establish a chronic insulin-free state characterized by normoglycemia. In selected recipients with insulin-requiring diabetes, simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation has become acknowledged as a favored alternative to kidney alone transplantation because of more intense glucose control, enhanced quality of life and improved long-term survival. The evolution in surgical technique, current patient management strategies, and biopsy directed immunosuppression have resulted in excellent outcomes, even in populations previously considered high risk, such as African-American recipients, patients with a “type 2 diabetes” phenotype and solitary pancreas transplants recipients.
