Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant versus Other Kidney Transplant Options in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

[摘要] Background and objectives Current organ allocation policy prioritizes placement of kidneys (with pancreas) to patients listed for simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplantation (SPK). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may undergo SPK, but it is unknown whether these patients enjoy a survival advantage with SPK versus deceased-donor kidney transplantation alone (DDKA) or living-donor kidney transplantation alone (LDKA).
