abstract = {The First World Consensus Conference on Pancreas Transplantation provided 49 jury deliberations regarding the impact of pancreas transplantation on the treatment of diabetic
patients, and 110 experts? recommendations for the practice of pancreas transplantation.
The main message from this consensus conference is that both simultaneous pancreaskidney transplantation (SPK) and pancreas transplantation alone can improve long-term
patient survival, and all types of pancreas transplantation dramatically improve the quality
of life of recipients. Pancreas transplantation may also improve the course of chronic complications of diabetes, depending on their severity. Therefore, the advantages of pancreas
transplantation appear to clearly surpass potential disadvantages. Pancreas after kidney
transplantation increases the risk of mortality only in the early period after transplantation, but is associated with improved life expectancy thereafter. Additionally, preemptive
SPK, when compared to SPK performed in patients undergoing dialysis, appears to be associated with improved outcomes. Time on dialysis has negative prognostic implications in
SPK recipients. Increased long-term survival, improvement in the course of diabetic complications, and amelioration of quality of life justify preferential allocation of kidney grafts
to SPK recipients. Audience discussions and live voting are available online at the following URL address: http://mediaeventi.unipi.it/category/1st-world-consensus-conferenceof-pancreas-transplantation/246.},
