Risk analysis for deterioration of renal function after pancreas alone transplant.

Journal article

The risk of progression to renal replacement after pancreas transplant alone (PTA) is a concern in patients with pre-transplant estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 70 mL/min/1.73 m(2). This is a retrospective, single-center risk analysis of potential factors affecting renal function after PTA. Twenty-four patients, transplanted over a three-yr period, with functioning pancreatic grafts at the study's end point were included. High tacrolimus levels (> 12 mg/dL) at six months po...
