Combined kidney-pancreas transplantation (CKPT) with its associated euglycemia has been shown to prevent or reduce recurrent diabetic nephropathy in the renal allograft. There has been no evaluation of residual native kidney function after CKPT. The purpose of this study was to determine whether native kidney function may be present in diabetic recipients years after CKPT.
