Popis: Introduction. The prognosis of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure improves after simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation. Good control of glycemia and other cardiovascular risk factors may positively influence prognosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in cardiovascular risk factors after SKP. Patients and methods. We studied 13 patients (aged 36 ± 8 years, 7 women) before and 12 months after SPK transplantation. All were treated with thymoglobulin, prednisone, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil. We compared the following pre- and post-SPK parameters: glycemia, HbA 1 c, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, systolic (sBP), diastolic blood pressure (dBP), and body mass index (BMI). Results. Twelve months after SPK transplantation, glycemia, HbA 1 c and triglycerides significantly decreased (P
