Living Donor Kidney Versus Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplant in Type I Diabetics

Abstract: Conclusions: Despite more transplants from older donors and among older recipients, LDKT was associated with superior outcomes compared with SPKT and was coupled with the least wait time and dialysis exposure. LDKT utilization should be considered in all type I diabetics with an available living donor, particularly given the challenges of ongoing organ shortage.

“…This view is further supported by the fact that the major cause of death in all these patients is primarily cardiovascular disease (62%), followed by infection (16%), malignancy (8%), and other causes (14%). 6 It also potentially explained why in Young et al's study, 4 despite initial superior patient survival following LDKA compared with SPK (1-year survival of LDKA, SPK, and DDKA was 97%, 95%, and 93%, respectively), the results began to favour SPK by the end of the 72-month study period.…”

“…The obvious benefit of a functioning pancreas graft is normalised blood glucose control without the use of insulin, compared with consistent moderate hyperglycaemia controlled with insulin use. The question whether cardiovascular outcomes can be improved by transplanting a pancreas simultaneously with the kidney remains, however, controversial [11][12][13][14]. A major obstacle when comparing outcomes following SPK vs kidney transplantation alone (KTA; from either a deceased or a living donor) in recipients with type 1 diabetes has been imbalance in risk factors between patient populations, particularly due to selection of younger patients with less comorbidity for SPK transplantation.…”

“…Compared with kidney transplant alone, a successful SPK may improve quality of life (2,3), diminish the progression of diabetic complications (4,5), and possibly prolong patient and kidney allograft survival (6 -9). In T1DM, SPK transplant outcomes are excellent, with a reported 5-year patient, kidney, and pancreas graft survival of 88%, 77% (10), and 69% (11), respectively.…”
