Abstract
Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation is an effective treatment option for end-stage renal disease with diabetes mellitus. Successful simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation allows achieving euglycemia, stabilizing existing microvascular complications and slowing their progression, improving the patient’s quality of life, lipid and calcium-phosphorus metabolism, reducing the risks of cardiovascular events. Therefore, in view of the patient’s severe general condition due to prolonged intoxication, hyperglycemia and other complications of chronic kidney disease, the earliest possible surgical treatment with minimization of the patient's stay on dialysis therapy is crucial to improve the outcome of transplantation.
