In selected type 1 diabetic (T1DM) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) offers higher long-term graft and patient survival, but also higher initial morbidity and mortality than cadaveric kidney transplantation alone (CKTA). The development of new immunosuppressive regimens and surgical approach has improved this initial outcome, but little is known about their effect on short-term renal function and surgical complications related to the renal graft.
