Purpose Of Review: The choice of optimum transplant in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and chronic kidney disease stage V (CKD V) is not clear. The purpose of this review was to investigate this in more detail-in particular the choice between a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) and living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), including recent evidence, to aid clinicians and their patients in making an informed choice in their care.
Recent Findings: Analyses of large databases have recently shown SPKT to have better survival rates than a LDKT in the long-term, despite an early increase in morbidity and mortality in SPKT recipients.
