I’m late to this party as this discussion originated in 2019 and now it is 2024! I had a pancreas only transplant in 2005. At the time I only had mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a simultaneous pancreas kidney (SPK) transplant was NOT recommended. Now I have Stage 4 CKD and I wish I would have had a SPK back then. Hindsight is indeed 20 / 20!
