[The first case of single pancreas transplantation in Hungary].
Simultaneous pancreas kidney (SPK) transplantation is the only routinely used therapeutic option which can provide insulin independence, euglycemia and good renal replacement for type I diabetes mellitus patients with end stage renal disease. Several patients have some complications of diabetes without renal failure. For these patients pancreas transplantation alone is a therapeutic option. The first pancreas transplantation alone was performed 6 years after the launch of our pancreas transplant program. The patient was a 40-years-old man. Enteric drainage was used with portal venous drainage. Anti IL-2. R antibody, daclizumab was given as prolonged induction therapy. In spite of the technical and immunological difficulties there were neither technical failures nor acute rejection. 3 years after the transplantation the patient has a good quality of life without insulin therapy with excellent renal function.


CONCLUSIONS
PTA transplant is a routinely used therapeutic option with good survival rate and good quality of life for type I diabetes mellitus patients without end stage renal disease.
