[Simultaneous transplantation of the kidney and the islets of Langerhans]. / Simultánní transplantace ledviny a Langerhansových ostruvku.

ABSTRACT

Simultaneous kidney and islet transplantation is recent therapeutic alternative for diabetics with end-stage kidney disease, who are not acceptable for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Islet transplantation has less complications but still worse long-term function compared to whole pancreas transplantation.
