A Simple Comparison Between Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas (Skptx) And Kidney-Alone (Ktx) Transplants In Type I Diabetic Nephropaty, Tanju Acar, Arshad Mahmood
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation (SKPtx) is an established procedure at many transplant centres for the treatment of end-stage renal disease from type I diabetes mellitus. A successful transplant normalises glucose metabolism and may prevent or reverse some of the complications of diabetes. Concerning graft survival and morbidity rates, the usefulness of this procedure is still questioned by some authors (1,2). We undertook a retrospective study to investigate the differences between survival rates of SKPtx and kidney alone transplant (Ktx) recipients.We also evaluated morbidity rates and complications in both groups. There were no significant differences in 12 and 36 month survival rates. …
