胰岛细胞移植后会发生什么

After you leave the hospital, you continue to have follow-up care from a 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 内分泌学家. Your 内分泌学家 prescribes insulin immediately after surgery while your transplanted islet cells “rest.” They help you lower insulin doses or stop taking it completely over the next several weeks and months.

不像其他类型的移植, you don’t need to take medicines to keep your body from rejecting the transplant (immunosuppressive medications). 因为胰岛细胞是你自己的, there’s no risk that your body will see them as foreign or attack them (transplant rejection).

胰岛细胞移植能预防糖尿病吗?

Islet cell transplants can prevent diabetes from developing in some people after a pancreatectomy. 一般, islet cell transplants result in better outcomes for people who have had pancreatitis for a shorter time. 随着时间的推移, the chronic pancreas inflammation can damage the islet cells so they no longer produce insulin.

Our results mirror those of islet cell transplant programs globally:

• About 1 in 3 islet cell transplant recipients need no insulin at some point after the procedure.
• Another 1 in 3 recipients require some amount of insulin.
• Some patients can’t produce enough insulin after surgery. 他们必须服用正常剂量的胰岛素.

Even individuals who do need insulin after the procedure eventually have greatly reduced pain or may be pain-free.
