Authors' objectives:
Pancreas-after-kidney (PAK) transplantation is performed in patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus who have difficulty controlling glucose levels and who have already had a successful kidney transplant to treat diabetic renal insufficiency. The goal of PAK transplantation is to prevent, slow, or reverse additional secondary diabetic complications, including retinopathy, neuropathy, and vasculopathy. The procedure is also intended to improve quality of life by eliminating the need for exogenous insulin and the associated problems of imperfect glucose control.
