    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Transplantation Surgery

    Background:

    • Pancreas transplantation is a vital treatment for diabetic patients.
    • It improves quality of life and survival, and can stabilize or reverse diabetic complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and indications for pancreas transplantation.
    • To assess outcomes for combined kidney-pancreas and isolated pancreas transplants.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of outcomes based on advancements in organ preservation, surgical techniques, and immunosuppression.
    • Analysis of recipient evaluation criteria, weighing benefits against surgical and immunosuppression risks.

    Main Results:

    • One-year graft survival exceeds 90% for combined kidney-pancreas transplants.

  • One-year graft survival reaches 80% for isolated pancreas transplants.
  • Combined transplantation is optimal for diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pancreas transplantation significantly enhances patient survival and quality of life.
    • Combined kidney-pancreas transplant is the preferred treatment for diabetic patients with ESRD.
    • Isolated pancreas transplant is indicated for non-uremic patients with severe complications or poor glycemic control.
