We conclude that the high rate of surgical complications is a major obstacle to widespread application of pancreas transplantation; early recognition and appropriate treatment of graft-related complications is fundamental for graft survival.

The proposed method is based on the electrochemical measurement of the open-circuit potential of the platinum electrode immersed in blood serum because the measured value reflects the state of equilibrium between prooxidant and antioxidant systems of the organism. Shifts in values of the RPs (open circuit potentials) observed in the course of monitoring are significantly different in patients with transplant dysfunction compared to patients with unremarkable recoveries. The analysis of monitoring allows for the development of certain diagnostic and prognostic criteria of transplant dysfunction. It is important that the proposed method is noninvasive, simple, and inexpensive.
