This paper studies the advances that have participated in the development of preservation solutions for the combined kidney-pancreas transplantation. These developments have been associated most importantly with hypothermia, the use of colloid solutions with high oncotic pressure, and the maintenance of near-intracellular ionic concentration. At the present time, the more effective solutions are the plasma-like modified Silica Gel Fraction and the starch and lactobionate based solution such as, the UW. Further advances in this area, would allow for improved results in the combined kidney-pancreas transplant preparation.
