@nikkispk, I want to welcome you to Mayo Connect. I am a simultaneous liver and kidney recipient, I am happy to meet you. I would like to introduce you to cehunt57 and @2011panc who can tell you about pancreas transplant.

Here is a discussion that you will also find interesting. -Looking for other pancreas only transplant recipients.

Edit- @cehunt57, I wanted to tag you to this conversation. I just noticed that I didn't include the @ before your name.

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!
