To the Editor: We welcome the correspondence from Ventura-Aguiar et al [1] regarding our recent publication in Diabetologia [2] and value the opportunity to respond. Ventura-Aguiar et al commented on the uncertainties relating to the pathogenesis of brain-death-related donor hyperglycaemia [1], for which there is currently a paucity of relevant and robust data [3]. We totally agree with their suggestion of a potential role of circulating microRNA and cell-free DNA to clarify the respective impact of irreversible beta cell death and reversible insulin resistance (stress hyperglycaemia) on donor pancreas function. Whilst we have previously reported the potential application of cell-free DNA data to pancreas transplantation [4] and have publicly presented some of our microRNA [5] data in relation to this, we look forward to sharing our complete biomarker data with the academic community in the near future.
