Zusammenfassung
Die klinische Pankreastransplantation hat seit ihrer Einführung im Jahr 1966 eine bemerkenswerte Entwicklung durchgemacht. Fortschritte im Bereich der operativen Technik, der Organkonservierung und der Immunsuppression haben das Patientenüberleben und die Transplantatfunktionsrate dramatisch verbessert. Die 1-Jahres-Pankreasfunktionsrate beträgt heutzutage 83 % nach simultaner Pankreas-/Nierentransplantation (SPK) und 78 % nach alleiniger Pankreastransplantation bei einem 1-Jahres-Patientenüberleben von 95 % bzw. 97 %. Dabei bestehen zwischen den Ergebnissen der nordamerikanischen und der europäischen Zentren keine wesentlichen Unterschiede. Dennoch ist die Akzeptanz der Pankreastransplantation in Deutschland immer noch geringer als in den USA. Die SPK gilt als Therapie der Wahl für Typ-1-Diabetiker mit terminaler Niereninsuffizienz. Viele nordamerikanische Zentren plädieren sogar seit längerem für eine Simultantransplantation vor Eintritt der Dialysepflichtigkeit. Die erfolgreiche Pankreastransplantation führt neben einer signifikanten Verbesserung der Lebensqualität zu einer nahezu vollständigen Normalisierung des Glukosemetabolismus. Das Fortschreiten der diabetischen Spätschäden wird hierdurch im Langzeitverlauf verhindert. Darüber hinaus wird das Langzeitüberleben der Patienten mit Typ-1-Diabetes und terminalem Nierenversagen durch eine Reduzierung der kardiovaskulär-bedingten Todesfälle erhöht. Das 10-Jahres-Patientenüberleben nach SPK beträgt ü ber 70 %. Damit existiert kein alternatives Therapieverfahren mit einer vergleichbaren Lebenserwartung. Allerdings sind Morbidität und Mortalität nach SPK im ersten Jahr höher als nach alleiniger Nierentransplantation. Die Ergebnisse nach solitärer Pankreastransplantation haben sich ebenfalls deutlich verbessert; die Methode ist jedoch nach wie vor auf Patienten mit funktionierenden Eigennieren beschränkt, die unter einem raschen Fortschreiten der diabetischen Spätschäden oder unter einem schlecht einzustellenden Diabetes mit einer dadurch bedingten massiven Einschränkung ihrer Lebensqualität leiden.
Abstract
Since its introduction in 1966, pancreas transplantation has undergone considerable progress. Refinements in surgical technique, better organ preservation solutions, and more potent immunosuppressive therapies have improved patient and graft-survival rates dramatically. Survival rates for patient and pancreas at 1 year approach 95 and 83 %, resp., for simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation, and 97 and 78 %, resp., for pancreas alone. US pancreas graft and patient survival rates do not significantly differ from the results of the European centers. However, there is still a hesitant acceptance of combined pancreas-kidney transplantation in Germany. Combined pancreas-kidney transplantation is nowadays the treatment of choice in carefully selected patients with type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal failure. Many US centers even advocate combined transplantation in diabetic patients at a pre-uremic stage. Pancreas transplantation significantly improves quality of life and provides excellent long-term glycemic control which halts or even ameliorates secondary diabetic complications such as microangiopathy and neuropathy. In addition, there is increasing evidence that successful pancreas transplantation significantly prolongs patient survival mainly by a reduction of cardiovascular-related mortality. Current 10-year patient survival rate after SPK exceeds 70 %. For diabetics with end-stage renal disease there is no alternative treatment available with comparable live expectancy. However, morbidity and mortality after SPK is still higher than for kidney transplantation alone in the first year. Outcome of isolated pancreas transplantation is also improving but this technique is still restricted to non-uremic patients with severe diabetic complications or with brittle diabetes and severe impairment of quality of life.
