Islet transplantation improves vascular diabetic complications in patients with diabetes who underwent kidney transplantation: a comparison between kidney-pancreas and kidney-alone transplantation1

Abstract: Successful islet transplantation improves survival, atherothrombotic profile, and endothelial morphology in uremic type 1 diabetic kidney transplant patients.

“…Pancreas and islet transplantations confer adjunctive benefits for kidney graft survival in ESRD type 1 diabetic patients (6,(12)(13)(14). It is possible that restoration of full endocrine function in the pancreas, or at least partial ␤-cell function, could lead to improved NOS expression in the kidney endocrine (14) and thereby ameliorate kidney vascular function.…”

“…Pancreas and islet transplantation can confer insulin independence in type 1 diabetic transplant patients, thus preventing the progression to diabetic nephropathy, improving graft survival, and ameliorating diabetic macro-/microangiopathy (6,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). It is likely that islet transplant could ameliorate renal function through improved glycometabolic control and restoration of C-peptide secretion (14,18 -23).…”

“…Also, a positive impact of islet transplantation on the progression of diabetes complications has been reported. Although, most of the studies showing reduced complications were small-scale and nonrandomized [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…With diabetic coronary angiopathy, progressive worsening of coronary artery atherosclerosis and macroangiopathy is evident in patients with diabetes, but pancreas and islet transplants reduce this risk (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). A noninvasive marker of atherosclerosis and coronary events is intimamedia thickness (IMT) (12), which is stabilized with pancreas transplantation (9).…”
