Pancreas Transplant (click for worldwide facilities list): A pancreas transplant can help manage complications in the kidney that may result from insulin-dependent diabetes. It can eliminate the need for insulin injections, reduce or eliminate dietary and activity restrictions due to diabetes, and decrease or eliminate the risk of severe low blood sugar reactions.
Tyoes of pancreas transplants:
Solitary Pancreas Transplant:
Improvements in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive medications make it possible to perform solitary pancreas transplants for diabetic patients who don't yet have serious kidney disease but who have problems maintaining normal blood sugar and insulin levels.
Successful transplantation can improve health by avoiding metabolic complications such as insulin reactions and diabetic ketoacidosis.
A pancreas transplant is often performed after a patient recovers from living donor kidney transplantation. Advances in the prevention of organ rejection make it possible to perform solitary pancreas transplants in successful kidney transplants patients.
Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas Transplant:
One of the most serious complications of type 1 diabetes is end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or end-stage kidney disease, which may require a kidney transplant. A kidney transplant without a pancreas transplant means you must take antirejection medication for the kidney and continue to take insulin.
The possibility of diabetes damaging the new kidney and other organs also remains. Successful combined kidney-pancreas transplants prevent diabetic damage in newly transplanted kidneys as well as eliminate the need for insulin therapy. In the best case scenario, a patient would receive a new kidney and pancreas from the same donor.
Kidneys and pancreases may be provided by a cadaveric donor, or a person who is brain dead. Kidneys may be provided by a living donor who donates one of his or her kidneys and survives on the remaining kidney.
Pancreatic Islet Transplantation:
In a minimally invasive procedure, insulin-producing beta cells are isolated from a donor pancreas, then injected through the skin into the portal vein of the liver, where they attach to new blood vessels and release insulin. For an average-size person, a typical transplant requires about 1 million islets, equal to two donor organs.
In the United States, this is considered a research procedure, and each medical institution that performs it must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Islet transplantation is only offered to people with very specific requirements, and as such, very few patients may be suitable candidates.
