dc.description.abstractDiabetes mellitus is a common disease affecting a large population in Hawaii. Over the past 20 years, pancreas transplantation has evolved into a viable therapeutic option for selected patients with diabetes mellitus. This report describes the first combined pancreas-kidney transplant performed in Hawaii on June 28, 1993 on a patient with juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. The patient has remained off insulin and off dialysis since the transplant. The history, indications, techniques, and potential complications related to this procedure are discussed.
