furthermore , the recipients of pancreas transplants had smaller glomerular volumes than 13 matched diabetic patients who were recipients of renal allografts but who did not undergo pancreas transplantation ( mean +/- sd , 1.80 +/- 0.55 vs. 2.47 +/- 0.73 x 10 ( 6 ) microns 3 ; p = 0.02 ) and showed markedly less mesangial expansion ( mesangial-volume fraction , 0.19 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.31 +/- 0.10 microns 3 per cubic micrometer ; p = 0.004 ) .
