There are no urgent indications for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. So our policy is to harvest only a pancreas in good biologic condition. The criteria for acceptance of a pancreas donor are: age 15 to 40 years, ICU stay < 7 days, no clinical signs of infection, negative virologic status, no history of hypotension or cardiac arrest, serum amylase elevation below three times normal values, controllable hyperglycemia, no history of pancreatic disease, no history of abdominal trauma damaging the organ, no history of alcohol addiction, BMI < 25, no functional or anatomical lesions of the kidneys, and expected ischemia time less than 12 hours. The proper selection of a pancreas donor allows one to achieve good insulin secretion immediately after transplantation. In 2000 to 2002 all 20 pancreases transplanted at transplant center displayed immediate secretory function after transplantation.
