“…We choose to evaluate patients submitted to SPKT a minimum period of 6 months after the transplant, because from this period onwards, the immunosuppressive doses, mainly from corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, were lower and had less impact on metabolic parameters and kidney function. That approach was in line with the findings that kidney function reestablishment and normalization of blood glucose levels achieved after SPKT, as reported by other studies, resulted in a reduction of cardiovascular risk factors [26].…”

“…Prior studies in patients with type 1 diabetes and renal failure have shown that SPKT improves several CVD risk factors including glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels when compared with kidney transplant alone (18). In our study, MACE occurred in 7.8% of patients over 5 years.…”

“…The most prominent data of this study is the finding of lower LDL‐c levels after PKT in a group of statin‐naïve patients. Mean LDL‐c levels reduced by almost 30%, when compared with basal levels from the same group, and such an important improvement had not been described in previous studies (3, 17–22). Moreover, it could be observed an improvement in other components of the metabolic syndrome, such as the TG levels and the frequency of hypertension, although it was observed an increase of body mass index as a result of a probable better metabolic condition following successful PKT procedure.…”
