Abstract
Pediatric donors are underutilized for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) due to concern about technical complications and inadequate islet and/or renal mass. We analyzed our experience with simultaneous en-bloc kidney and pancreas transplantation (SEBKP) using pediatric donors on eight consecutive adult patients from 1997-2018. En-bloc kidney transplants were implanted intraperitoneally and contralaterally to right-sided pancreas grafts. All patients became insulin independent immediately; with one case of delayed kidney function and one case of insulin resistance; there were no graft thromboses. Donor age averaged 5.0±1.7 years and weight 19.8±4.8kg; recipients averaged 46.6±12.8 years and BMI 25.2±3.8kg/m2. Postoperative creatinine, glucose and c-peptide reflected good graft function. SEBKP transplantation is a safe technique providing excellent long-term glycemic control and kidney function to adult recipients.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide.
The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure. It also explores ethical and social issues in the field.
