Combined Kidney & Pancreas Transplants 

For some patients with type I diabetes, a pancreas transplant holds the promise of substantially improving quality of life, by eliminating the need for insulin therapy.

A pancreas transplant may also be an option for patients with type 2 diabetes.  A combined kidney-pancreas transplant often increases the long term survival of patients with diabetes and kidney failure because the new organs replace the function of both the failed kidney and pancreas.

During the past decade there have been many developments(improvements) in the area of combined kidney and pancreas transplantation. Anti-rejection medications and surgical techniques are advancing, thus reducing potential complications.
