Abstract
Among renal replacement therapies, preemptive kidney transplantation (PKT) presents the best clinical, social, and economic results. However, it is still infrequently chosen as first therapy for patients with irreversible kidney failure. Initiatives in different parts of the world were developed to identify the reasons why PKT is still not widely used and to facilitate the access of patients with end-stage kidney disease to the advantages associated with it. This article addresses the main advantages and difficulties of PKT and discusses when it should be indicated and how to prepare potential recipients for PKT.

Different timing and risk factors of cause-specific pancreas graft loss after simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17666.

Abstract
In cases after pancreas transplantation (PTx), the pancreas graft might be lost for various reasons, including a pancreatoduodenal graft-related complication or patient death with a functioning graft. Although the causes seem to have distinct characteristics, the causes of pancreas graft loss have not been characterized. This study aimed to characterize the causes of pancreas graft loss by analyzing data from a Japanese nationwide registry. This study included 391 patients who received simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation among 461 patients with PTx during the study period in approved institutions in Japan. We characterized each cause in terms of the timing of the cause-specific graft loss and preoperative factors associated with graft loss based on nationwide data from a Japanese nationwide registry. Among the 391 cases, 113 lost the pancreas graft due to patient death with a functioning graft (DWFG; n = 34, 44.2%), graft thrombus (n = 22, 28.6%), or chronic rejection (CR; n = 7, 9.1%). Average (± standard deviation) time from PTx to graft loss due to DWFG, graft thrombus, and CR was 3.70 ± 4.36, 0.02 ± 0.01, and 2.37 ± 2.08 years, respectively. Duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus and donor body mass index were significantly associated with pancreas graft loss due to DWFG and graft thrombus, respectively. This characterization showed that the timing and preoperative factors associated with pancreas graft loss were significantly different for different causes of graft loss. These results may inform PTx follow-up protocols to ensure that appropriate care is based on the cause of graft loss.

Abstract
Optimal glycemic control in kidney transplant recipients with diabetes is associated with improved morbidity and better patient and allograft survival. Transplant options for patients with diabetes requiring insulin therapy and chronic kidney disease who are suitable candidates for kidney transplantation should include consideration of β-cell replacement therapy: pancreas or islet transplantation. International variation related to national regulatory policies exists in offering one or both options to suitable candidates and is further affected by pancreas/islet allocation policies and transplant waiting list dynamics. The selection of appropriate candidates depends on patient age, coexistent morbidities, the timing of referral to the transplant center (predialysis versus on dialysis) and availability of living kidney donors. Therefore, early referral (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) is of the utmost importance to ensure adequate time for informed decision making and thorough pretransplant evaluation. Obesity, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, smoking, and frailty are some of the conditions that need to be addressed before acceptance on the transplant list, and ideally before dialysis becoming imminent. This review offers insights into selection of pancreas/islet transplant candidates by transplant centers and an update on posttransplant outcomes, which may have practice implications for referring nephrologists.
