Summary
In this study, glucose control, renal function and endothelial function in pancreas transplanted patients were analyzed and found maintained one year after successful treatment, despite treatment with immunosuppressive medication with potential toxic effects.
According to this study, donor duodenum biopsies should not be assessed alone when a pancreas transplant rejection is suspected due to a low concordance in histological findings between the two organs.
