  • Treatment and management of complications of hyperkalemia after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation

    ObjectiveTo summarize the perioperative management experience and the treatment strategy of hyperkalemia after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK).MethodThe clinical data of patients with diabetes combined with end-stage renal disease who accepted SPK in the Organ Transplantation Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from November 2017 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsA total of 6 patients accepted SPK totally. The cold ischemia time of all allografts was less than 8 h. The levels of fasting blood glucose and serum creatinine were normal in the 5 surviving patients, and the diabetic complications were relieved or improved, except for 1 patient who died of cardiac arrest due to acute left heart failure. There were 1 case of delayed primary renal function recovery, 2 cases of bleeding in the surgical area of pancreas transplantation, 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding, 3 cases of microthrombosis in the blood vessels of pancreas transplantation, 2 cases of perirenal effusion infection, 2 cases of pulmonary infection, and 1 case of ureterobladder anastomotic leakage, all of which were cured after symptomatic treatment. Only 2 patients occurred hyperkalemia after SPK (the highest level was 6.49 mmol/L and 6.67 mmol/L respectively), and transfusion of 10% glucose injection contain insulin, emergency dialysis and oral fludrocortisone were successively performed on them to restore the potassium density in 1 month and 2 months after surgery. There were no complications of perioperative surgical technical hemorrhage, intestinal leakage, large arteriovenous thrombosis, necrotizing pancreatitis, etc.ConclusionsSPK is the most effective treatment for patients with diabetes combined with end-stage renal disease. Transfusion of 10% glucose injection contain insulin, emergency dialysis, and oral fludrocortisone are effective strategies in treating hyperkalemia after SPK.
