Simultaneous deceased donor pancreas and living donor kidney transplant (SPLK) has certain advantages over conventional simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPK) and may be beneficial for overcoming the paucity of organs needed for diabetic patients requiring transplant. We compared the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent either SPK (n = 149) or SPLK (n = 46) in terms of pre- and post-transplantation variables, development of de novo DSA, occurrence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), and graft survival rates. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the SPK and SPLK groups except for the shorter cold ischemic time of kidney grafts, shorter duration of diabetes, older age of pancreas graft-donors, and younger age of kidney graft-donors in the SPLK group. Our results showed that the death-censored pancreas graft survival rate was lower in the SPLK group. In addition, the incidence of BPAR of the pancreas graft was higher in the SPLK group. There was no significant difference in the presence of de novo DSA and the rates of kidney graft failure, kidney BPAR, and mortality. Our results show that SPLK can be considered an alternative option for SPK although higher incidences of BPAR and graft failure of pancreas after SPLK need to be overcome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D003920 Diabetes Mellitus A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
