Introduction: Simultaneous kidney-pancreas (SKP) transplantation has become the best treatment option for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In the last two decades type 2 diabetes (T2D) started to be included as a new indication for transplant. Currently it has become between 8.5 and 30% of total number of pancreas transplant performed. Aim: Report our experience in kidney-pancreas transplant. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of kidney-pancreas transplant performed between April 2008- Nov 2015. We analyzed recipients´ characteristics, graft function, pancreas, kidney and patients´ survival comparing transplants in T1D and T2D recipients. Results: Forty five patients were transplanted, 34 were T1D (33 SKP and 1 pancreas transplant alone), eleven (24.5%) were T2D received SKP transplant. Patient's characteristics:age, BMI and C-peptide levels pre transplantwere analyzed, only C-peptide was statistical significance, p=0.001. Comparative results of grafts functions are represented in table 1. Patients and graft survival are represented in table 2.

Patients survival at 1 and 5 years  88/88% 89/74% NS
Pancreas graft survival at 1 and 5 years  82/82% 89/74% NS
Kidney graft survival at 1 and 5 years  85/77% 89/74% NS

.

Conclusion: Under strict selective criteria for pancreas transplant, results in T2D patients are comparable to T1D recipients at our center.
