Kidney transplantation in patients with severe preoperative hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The benefits of pancreas transplantation are often difficult to measure. Here, we sought to determine the difference in quality of life for diabetic patients with and without a functional pancreas transplant alone (PTA). METHODS:Pancreas transplant alone cases from 1993 to 2015 were considered. An IRB-appro...
