Pancreas transplantation: review.

Pancreas transplant (PTx) is the only treatment that establishes normal glucose levels for patients diagnosed with diabetes types 1 and 2. The paper aims to review and analyze graft survival, patient survival, and the impact on diabetic complications. We describe that the graft survival was 82-98% at 1 year, 90% at 5 years, and 75-54% at 10 years for simultaneous pancreas-kidney recipient; 71% pancreas after kidney (PAK), and 62% PTx alone at 1 year.
