RESUMO
Objective To reduce the perioperative complications of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK ) and boost the clinical efficacy by exploring its perioperative management in diabetics with end-stage renal disease .Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 5 diabetics with end-stage renal disease undergoing SPK since 2017 .Results The cold ischemic time of all allografts was under 8 hours .No surgical complications occurred in recipients post-transplantation .Two patients were complicated with hyperkalemia and their serum potassium levels normalized after treatment .One case of bleeding in abdominal cavity was cured conservatively . Renal functions of two patients with delayed renal function post-transplantation gradually recovered after hematodialysis . One case of peritransplant fluid collection recovered after debridement and drainage .Another case of acute left heart failure and cardiac arrest at 45 days post-transplantation resumed normal heart rhythm after rescue .However ,his consciousness could not be restored and his families gave up subsequent treatments . Transplanted kidneys and pancreases of these 4 patients normalized .Follow-up was conducted until March 20 , 2019 . They became insulin and dialysis independent and serum creatinine and blood glucose normalized .Diabetic complications were relieved and their quality-of-life also improved significantly .Conclusions SPK is an effective treatment for diabetics with end-stage renal disease .While maintaining normal serum creatinine and blood glucose , it may liberate patients from insulin dosing and dialytic maintenance ,lower diabetic complications and improve quality-of-life .
