Outcome of Pancreas Transplantation in Recipients Older Than 50 Years: A Single-Centre Experience

Abstract: This study demonstrates that it is feasible to safely transplant potential PT recipients aged 50 and above. However, good medical assessment and careful patient selection is strongly recommended.

“…Similar data exist among DDRT recipients, where the oldest recipients have the worst overall survival, but death-censored graft survival improves linearly with recipient age, suggesting either a beneficial immunosuppressive function of age or more aggressive disease in younger patients [46]. Regardless of mechanism, several other small retrospective institutional studies support the conclusion that recipient age is not a primary risk factor for patient mortality or graft failure and that PT in appropriately selected recipients >50 years of age still holds benefits [47,48].…”

“…Durch eine präemptive Simultantransplantation lassen sich diese Ergebnisse womöglich weiter verbessern [35]. Empfänger über 50 Jahre profitieren von einer Pankreastransplantation bezüglich eines Zugewinns an Lebenserwartung nur noch eingeschränkt, dennoch zeigen aktuelle Studien, dass sich bei einer sorgfältigen Empfängerselektion exzellente Patientenüberlebens-und Transplantatfunktionsraten erzielen lassen [36]. Verglichen mit einer alleinigen Nierentransplantation führt die simultane Transplantation zu einer hochsignifikanten Verlänge-rung der Lebenserwartung niereninsuffizienter Typ-I-Diabetiker.…”
