• Diabetes is the pandemic of the new millennium• 24 million diabetics (17.5 million diagnosed)• Diabetes is the most common cause of ESRD in the U.S
Diabetes 40%, Chronic GN 22%, HTN 20%• Mortality of diabetics on dialysis
Annual death rate 10.8% DM vs. 4.3% non-DM3 year survival 56% HTN, 69% GN, 78% PCKD, 39% DM
• DM is the leading cause of blindness in adults, number one cause of amputations and impotence and ranks among the leading chronic diseases of childhood.
• DM accounts for more than 170,000 deaths per year.• Total cost= $ 174 billion. • Average expenditure per person: $ 11.744 / year.

Pancreas transplantation is the only treatment presently available for patients with Type I diabetes that establishes both insulin independence and sustained normoglycemiawhich in turn is associated with beneficial effects on the secondary complications of diabetes as well as improving the quality of life.

Purpose of Pancreas Transplantation
• Restore endogenous insulin production and improve counter-regulation
• Normalize glucose homeostasis and metabolism at systemic and cellular levels (avoid hyper/hypoglycemia)
• Render patient insulin-free• Improve quality of life and life expectancy• Prevent, halt, slow, or reverse secondary diabetic
(microvascular) complications

Pancreas Transplantation
• Simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant (SPK)
• Pancreas after kidney transplant (PAK)
• Pancreas transplant alone (PTA)
• IDDM with CRF ( CrCl<40 mg/dl
• IDDM with functioning kidney transplant, e.g. living donor
• IDDM, extremely brittle, poor metabolic control

Immunosuppression
• A quadruple drug regimen including antibodies (thymo, ATGAM, simulect, ALG, OKT3), Calcineurin inhibitors(cyclosporine, prograf), cell cept and steroids has been the back bone.
• Antibody therapy is started intraoperatively and continued 5-10 days postoperatively
• Acute rejection is treated with high dose steroids and antibodies (thymo, OKT3)
• Maintenance immunosuppression is with CI (CyA or prograf), prednisone and cell cept

Pancreas Transplantation: 1990s
• FK, MMF, new monoclonals, biopsy directed therapy
• Improved viral (CMV) monitoring, detection, prophylaxis
• Evolution from bladder to enteric exocrine drainage
• Revolution from systemic to portal venous delivery of insulin.
• Solitary pancreas transplantation (PAK-PTA)
![Page 37: TRANSPLANTATION IN DIABETIC PATIENTS · •Diabetes is the pandemic of the new millennium • 24 million diabetics (17.5 million diagnosed) • Diabetes is the most common cause of](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060517/6049967d154bf277b72c442f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Pancreas Transplantation in 2000s
• Improving results due to advances in immunosuppression and refinements in surgical techniques
• One year PS >95%, PGS >85%• Rates of rejection decreased to <10%• Rates of reoperation decreased to <10%• LOS decreased to 6-8 days; readmission rates
decreased to <25%• Rates of infection decreased to <25%

Summary
• As of January 2009 > 30,000 PTx reported• Progressive improvement in outcome from 1999 to 2009
- SKPTx graft survival rate 75% -> 85%- PAKTx graft survival rate 50% -> 78%- PTA graft survival rate 50% -> 78%
These improvements are due to: 1- Decrease in technical failure rates 20% -> 5%2- Decrease in immunological failure rate 25-30% -> 2%
Excellent long term outcomes with 1-year patient survival of 95-97%, an improved life span with quality of life and stabilization of diabetic complications.

Future Prospects• New immunosuppressive regimens that are less
nephrotoxic and islet toxic: steroid avoidance, CNI minimization or withdrawal
• More liberal use of antibody agents as tolerizing, long-term immunosuppressants
• Improved physiology of procedure (enteric + portal venous drainage)
• Expanded donor and recipient selection (age, BMI, type 2 diabetes, HCV, ethnicity)
• Shift in focus from short-term immunologic and surgical outcomes to long-term aspects
• Islets are the future (and always will be)
