Since 1985, 27 transplants have occurred at Washington University School of Medicine (WUMS) in St. Louis and 4 transplants in conjunction with the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario. The majority of successful transplants have occurred since 1989 when we entered into the era of better immunosuppression, early intensive insulin therapy, purer preparations, immunoalteration by 24 C culture, and cryopreservation resulting in larger transplanted islet preparations. The two groups of patients most extensively followed at WUMS were patients with established kidney grafts followed by islet transplant (EKI, n= 8) and those receiving simultaneously transplanted kidney and islet transplant (SKI, n= 9). Several controversies concerning islet transplantation still exist. For example, should islet transplantation occur simultaneous with or following renal transplant? Does cryopreservation and/or islet culture make a difference in islet function? What is the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching? Does islet mass improve or hamper long-term islet function? Presented here are the results of a retrospective study addressing these questions in regard to our EKI and SKI patients.
