Article Synopsis
- Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation has a notable risk of early post-transplant thrombosis, as highlighted by a retrospective study of 235 patients from 2008 to 2017.
- Of the 41 patients (17%) who developed thrombosis, most (61%) retained their grafts through various management strategies including observation, anticoagulation, and surgery.
- Higher body mass index (BMI) significantly increases the risk of thrombosis leading to graft loss, with an 11.2-fold increase noted in recipients with a BMI over 25.
