Abstract : Simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPK) performed as the universal treatment for patients who have type 1 diabetes mellitus and ESRD. Here we present a case series of 4 SPK cases, successfully performed. Successful SPK transplantation increase patient survival enhances quality of life, and decline diabetic complications. Suitability of SPK transplantation is dependent upon patient selection including their age and comorbidities. All patients received transplanted organ from cadaveric donor. This article discusses with immunosuppression consists of induction and maintenance therapy. Allograft dysfunction is a serious issue, after transplantation of kidney. Management of ACR and AMR has been discussed in the fourth case.
