Summary

Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) offers a cure for type 1 diabetes, but limited organ availability leads to long waits and deaths. Structural changes are needed to improve access to this life-saving procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation immunology
  • Endocrinology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) is the primary treatment for type 1 diabetes with kidney failure.
  • High demand in Germany (551 patients on waiting list in 2022) contrasts with low transplant numbers (42), resulting in 2-3 year waiting times and patient mortality.
  • Isolated pancreas transplantation (IPT) and pancreas transplantation after kidney transplantation (PAK) are reserved for specific cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current status and long-term outcomes of SPK.
  • To highlight challenges in patient and donor selection for SPK.
  • To emphasize the need for structural adaptations in SPK programs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices and outcomes in SPK.
  • Analysis of waiting list data and transplant numbers in Germany.
  • Discussion of patient selection criteria and donor organ challenges.

Main Results:

  • SPK demonstrates favorable long-term graft survival (over 12 years) and significantly improves patient survival.
  • High perioperative and postoperative complication rates are noted.
  • Despite challenges, SPK remains the gold standard for type 1 diabetes cure.

Conclusions:

  • SPK is the gold standard for treating type 1 diabetes with kidney failure.
  • Addressing organ scarcity and optimizing patient selection are crucial.
  • Structural adaptations are necessary to ensure the long-term viability and accessibility of SPK programs.
