Özet

Background: Diabetes is the most common cause of renal failure. In patients with type I diabetes and renal failure, dialysis and insulin therapy can prevent a clinical context that causes rapid death, but they are insufficient to prevent long term complications. Pancreas and islet cell transplantation in patients with type I diabetes are the only curative treatment and have recently become more common. Methods: Between December 2006 and August 2010 a total of 10 patients underwent pancreas transplantation. The patients' data were analysed retrospectively. Results: 10 patients and their data were included in this study. Six patients were male and 4 patients were female. All patients are still alive, with functional grafts. Conclusions: Pancreas transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients with type I DM. This paper discusses the feasibility of this process and presents the experience of Ankara University in pancreas transplantation.
