Diabetes is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). While liver transplantation is well established for CF-related liver disease (CFLD), the role of simultaneous liver-pancreas transplantation is less understood.
We polled 81 pediatric transplantation centers to identify and characterize subjects who had undergone simultaneous liver-pancreas transplantation and obtain opinions about this procedure in CFLD.
Fifty (61.7%) polled transplant centers responded and 94% reported that they would consider simultaneous liver-pancreas transplantation for CFLD and diabetes. A total of 8 patients with simultaneous liver-pancreas transplantation were identified with median follow up of 38 months. All patients had pre-existing diabetes. Exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function was initially restored in all patients with later functional loss in one patient. Body mass index Z-score increased between one year pre-transplantation and one year post-transplantation (P=0.029).
Patients with CFLD undergoing initial assessment for liver transplantation may benefit from consideration of simultaneous liver-pancreas transplantation.
糖尿病与囊性纤维化(CF)患者的发病率和死亡率增加相关。虽然肝移植对于CF相关肝病(CFLD)已确立,但同期肝胰联合移植的作用了解较少。
我们对81个儿科移植中心进行了调查,以确定和描述接受同期肝胰联合移植的受试者,并获取关于CFLD中该手术的意见。
50个(61.7%)接受调查的移植中心做出了回应,94%报告称他们会考虑对CFLD和糖尿病患者进行同期肝胰联合移植。共确定了8例接受同期肝胰联合移植的患者,中位随访时间为38个月。所有患者均有糖尿病史。所有患者的外分泌和内分泌胰腺功能最初均得以恢复,但有1例患者后来出现功能丧失。移植前1年至移植后1年期间,体重指数Z评分升高(P=0.029)。
接受肝移植初始评估的CFLD患者可能会从同期肝胰联合移植的考虑中获益。
