Pancreas donation

Pancreas donation involves recovering a healthy pancreas from a deceased donor to transplant into a recipient with conditions like diabetes. The goal is to restore or improve insulin production, helping manage blood sugar levels. The process is carefully coordinated, ensuring the donor’s organs are suitable and that the procedure is safe for both donor and recipient. Pancreas transplants are often combined with kidney transplants, especially for patients with type 1 diabetes and kidney failure. This donation process is a vital part of organ transplantation, giving recipients a chance at better health and quality of life.
