Survival After Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes: The Critical Role of Early Pancreas Allograft Function.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) carries about a 7%-22% risk of technical failure, but the impact of early pancreas allograft loss on subsequent kidney graft and patient survival is not well-defined. We examined national transplant registry data for type 1 diabetic patients who received SPK between 2000 and 2021. Associations of transplant type (i.e., SPK, deceased-donor kidney transplant [DDKA], living-donor kidney transplant [LDKA]) with kidney graft failure and patient survival were estimated by multivariable inverse probability of treatment-weighted accelerated failure-time models. Compared to SPK recipients with a functioning pancreas graft 3 months posttransplant (SPK,P+), LDKA had 18% (Time Ratio [TR] 0.82, 95%CI: 0.70-0.95) less graft survival time and 18% (TR 0.82, 95%CI: 0.68-0.97) less patient survival time, DDKA had 23% (TR 0.77, 95%CI: 0.68-0.87) less graft survival time and 29% (TR 0.71, 95%CI: 0.62-0.81) less patient survival time, and SPK with early pancreas graft loss had 34% (TR 0.66, 95%CI: 0.56-0.78) less graft survival time and 34% (TR 0.66, 95%CI: 0.55-0.79) less patient survival time. In conclusion, SPK,P+ recipients have better kidney allograft and patient survival compared with LDKA and DDKA. Early pancreas graft failure results in inferior kidney and patient survival time compared to kidney transplant alone.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisThe study aimed to assess the impact on neuropathy of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) in individuals with type 1 diabetes.MethodsThis longitudinal observational study examined neuropathic symptoms, deficits, quantitative sensory testing, neurophysiology, corneal confocal microscopy and skin biopsy results in 32 healthy (non-diabetic) control participants, 29 individuals with type 1 diabetes and severe diabetic peripheral neuropathy [DPN] and 36 individuals with type 1 diabetes after SPK.ResultsFollowing SPK, HbA1c, eGFR, triacylglycerols and HDL improved significantly (all p < 0.05). Compared with the DPN group, which remained unchanged over the 36 month study period, corneal confocal microscopy assessments improved over 36 months following SPK, with increasing corneal nerve fibre density of 5/mm2 (95% CI 1.8, 8.2; p = 0.003) and corneal nerve fibre length of 3.2 mm/mm2 (95% CI 0.9, 5.5; p = 0.006). The Neuropathy Symptom Profile and peroneal nerve conduction velocity also improved significantly by 36 months compared with DPN (2.5; 95% CI 0.7, 4.3; p = 0.008 and 4.7 m/s; 95% CI 2.2, 7.4; p = 0.0004, respectively), but with a temporal delay compared with the corneal confocal microscopy assessments. Intraepidermal nerve fibre density did not change following SPK; however, mean dendritic length improved significantly at 12 (p = 0.020) and 36 (p = 0.019) months. In contrast, there were no changes in the Neuropathy Disability Score, quantitative sensory testing or cardiac autonomic function assessments. Except for a small decrease in corneal nerve fibre density in the healthy control group, there were no changes in any other neuropathy measure in the healthy control or DPN groups over 36 months.Conclusions/interpretationSPK is associated with early and maintained small nerve fibre regeneration in the cornea and skin, followed by an improvement in neuropathic symptoms and peroneal nerve conduction velocity.

Project description:BackgroundPancreas transplant alone (PTA) recipients are more affected by pancreas graft thrombosis, and graft loss compared to simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) recipients. The pathophysiology is unknown, but an increased immune response has been suggested in the PTA recipients. In this observational study, we compared perioperative thromboinflammation between PTA (n=32) and SPK (n=35) recipients, and between PTA recipients with (n=14) versus without (n=18) early graft thrombosis.MethodsWe measured C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma markers of activated coagulation and complement, and cytokines preoperatively and daily during the first postoperative week.ResultsPreoperatively, coagulation and complement activation markers were comparable between PTA and SPK recipients, while cytokine concentrations were higher in SPK recipients (TNF, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α; all p<0.05). On the first postoperative day, PTA recipients had higher coagulation activation, measured as thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), than SPK recipients (p=0.008). In the first postoperative week, PTA recipients showed higher relative cytokine release (IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, IP-10, MCP-1, and MIP-1α; all p<0.05) while SPK recipients showed higher absolute cytokine concentrations (TNF, IL-1ra, IL-8, MIP-1α, and IL-4; all p<0.05). PTA and SPK recipients showed similar terminal complement complex (TCC, sC5b-9) activation. On the first postoperative day, TCC (OR 1.2 [95% CI 1.0-1.5] for 0.1 CAU/ml increase, p=0.02) and CRP (OR 1.2 [95% CI 1.0-1.3] for 10 mg/L increase, p=0.04) were associated with an increased risk of early graft thrombosis. TCC was specific for graft thrombosis, while CRP increased with several complications. PTA recipients with compared to those without graft thrombosis had higher TCC pre- (p=0.04) and postoperatively (p=0.03).ConclusionThe relative increase in postoperative thromboinflammatory response was more pronounced in PTA recipients. Complement activation was associated with an increased risk of graft thrombosis. This study indicates that innate immune activation rather than elevated levels may affect early postoperative pancreas graft thrombosis.Clinical trial registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01957696, identifier NCT01957696.
