I don't believe that it would be necessary for a "transplant "to do be done.It is possible for the pancreas to be removed and the islet cells that make insulin transplanted on to the liver or above the kidneys.
This is termed a total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplant. People who have this procedure need enzymes to digest food for the rest of their life. Additionally, insulin is usually needed at minimal doses. With this type of procedure there is NO need for antirejection drugs.Pancreatitis is a terribly painful disease. One might ask howI know this information. I had this surgery 9-22-06, it has been the best thing that I could have ever done.
Please research for yourself, check out University of Minnesota transplant.(I won't put a link, as these change frequently then the information is unavailable).
yes it is, although a kidney transplant is given at the same time. only type 1 Diabetes sufferers are eligible for this transplant and you must show signs of kidney failure as well From Y12 Sir John Cass
A pancreas can be transplanted. It is usually done in conjuncture with a kidney. This is referred to as an SPK (Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney) transplant.
Yes, pancreases are commonly transplanted.
The pancreas can be transplanted.
If that does not answer your question you should ask again and more clear.
Mama,mama papa,walk away!!EVABODY gonna love today!
You can indeed.
Chronic pancreatitis--or continuing inflammation of the pancreas that results in permanent damage to this organ--can develop from long-standing, recurring episodes of acute (periodic) pancreatitis.
It could but probably would not. Acute pancreatitis is usually temporary due to alcohol, drugs, ect. Things that can be changed or eliminated entirely. Chronic pancreatitis is caused by other things. Gallstones, problems with the pancreas itself, ect. But with either type of pancreatitis diet plays a big part. People that suffer from chronic pancreatitis learn very quickly what can be tolerated and what cannot. And either kind of pancreatitis can be deadly, and is extremely painful.
"Amylase serum levels will rise with chronic pancreatitis." I am currently researching the effects on serum amylase and lipase in relation pancreatitis as part of a college course I am taking. What I have learned is that the amylase level will be elevated in ACUTE pancreatitis, but will be below the "normal" range in CHRONIC pancreatitis. In addition the lipase levels "parallel" the amylase levels, but lipase is a bit slower to rise and fall. They both elevate with acute pancreatitis, and both fall below "normal" range with chronic pancreatitis. One of my best references in researching these lab values inrelation to pancreatitis is the National Institute of Health (NIH) website.
A calcified pancreas is the result of having chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas and commonly occurs in alcoholics.
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas assists digestion and regulates the way the body processes sugar. Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic.

Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing inflammation of the pancreas that alters its normal structure and functions. It can present as episodes of acute inflammation in a previously injured pancreas, or as chronic damage with persistent pain or malabsorption.
Hemodialysis
A liver transplant may become necessary if complications occur
Diagnosis of pancreatitis can be made very early in the disease by noting high levels of pancreatic enzymes circulating in the blood (amylase and lipase). Later in the disease, and in chronic pancreatitis, these enzyme levels will no longer be elevated.
Chronic Pancreantitis is a disease that alters the shape and function of the Pancreas. This can cause multiple different organ failures and harmful sicknesses.
Chronic renal failure
