Abstract: | Summary The diabetic patient with renal failure underwent simultaneous pancreaticoduodenal and renal transplantation. Duodeno-cystostomy was performed for the drainage of exocrine secretion. Immediately after grafting, the pancreatic and the renal graft regained normal function, and there was no operative complication whatever. The patient had functioning pancreatic graft and became insulin-independent for more than 3 months, although two transplanted kidneys were rejected. Immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporine A, azathioprine and prednisone. Our results suggest that hemorrheological parameters may serve as early indicators of acute rejection and be used to estimate the efficacy of anti-rejection and anti-coagulation therapy. |
