Top Journal On Pancreas Transplantation

A pancreas transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy pancreas in a person whose pancreas is no longer functioning properly from a deceased donor. Your pancreas is an organ that lies behind the lower part of your stomach. One of its main functions is to make insulin , a hormone that regulates the sugar (glucose) absorption into your cells. If insulin is not produced by your pancreas, blood sugar levels can rise to unhealthy levels , resulting in type 1 diabetes. Most pancreatic transplants are done to treat type 1 diabetes. For this condition a pancreatic transplant provides a potential cure. But it is typically reserved for those with severe diabetes complications, as the side effects of a pancreas transplant may be significant.
