    Summary
    This report summarises the outcome of 90 combined kidney/pancreatic grafts performed in Europe in 1986. Data for the combined kidney/pancreas grafts were obtained by a special questionnaire. The one-year patient and kidney graft survival is compared to the results of a group of 389 patients with diabetic nephropathy on the EDTA Registry data file who received kidney grafts alone. The recipients of combined kidney-pancreas grafts were younger, whereas a greater proportion of males received kidney graft alone. Patient survival at one year after transplantation was similar: 89% in recipients of combined transplants compared to 90% in recipients of kidney grafts alone. Kidney graft survival was 78% at one year for recipients of combined grafts versus 76%. It is concluded that pancreas transplantation has little effect on the fate of concomitant kidney grafts. The procedure should - in experienced hands and in selected patients - be almost as safe as kidney grafting alone
