What does the natural production of insulin prevent following a pancreas transplantation?

Natural availability of insulin prevents the development of additional complications associated with diabetes, including kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve damage.


What was the cause of diabetes?

Following are some causes of diabetes: a) Metabolic syndrome - a syndrome with 4 key features (diabetes , hypertension, obesity/overweight, and high cholesterol). b) Insulin resistance c) Hemochromatosis - iron overload causes pancreas damage that can mimic Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. d) Chronic pancreatitis - pancreas damage that can mimic diabetes. e) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - ovary cysts inhibit natural female hormones causing insulin resistance f) Carcinoid syndrome - glucose intolerance, protean manifestations, serotonin inhibits insulin production

What Anatomy and physiology of diabetes?

Diabetes is a system wide disease, but the etiology of Type I (insulin dependent diabetes) is due to an autoimmune attack on the Beta-cells in endocrine pancreas that produce insulin. As the number of Beta cells decreases the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas is no longer sufficient to drive glucose uptake in the muscle and liver. The glucose accumulates in the blood until it reaches a concentration that is greater than what the kidneys can recover. The high levels of circulating glucose is associated with permanent damage to small blood vessels, damage to the retina and kidney failure.


What causes diabetes what is diabetes and what can diabetes cause?

It depends on what kind of diabetes you are inquiring about.Type 1 diabetes is non-preventable and non-curable. It is an autoimmune disease, the pancreas has cells called beta cells that create the hormone insulin and insulin controls the glucose/blood sugar levels in the body. With type 1 the pancreas no longer functions at all. It comes from your genes, so if someone in your family has type 1 or any kind of diabetes, you are at a higher risk. Type 1 requires daily insulin shots, done at home, by yourself.Type 2 - The pancreas may still work a little, but doesn't provide enough insulin to keep the blood sugar under control. Most type 2 patients take oral insulin, but in extreme cases they must take the shots. Type 2 can be prevented; it is widely caused by being overweight and/or not exercising enough. So stay fit.Gestational - high blood sugar caused by pregnancy, leading to a temporary diabetes. Requires treatment during pregnancy, usually resolves itself after the child is born, but both mother and child are at higher risk for type-2 diabetes afterwards. Go to diabetes.org that's the American Diabetes Association website.Pre-diabetes - the final one, not considered to be a type, but it's the beginning to diabetes, can lead to type 1 or 2. It's just where the pancreas works almost right, but not completely, leading to slightly higher blood sugar levels. Normally this is caused by genes also.Pancreatitis - chronic inflammation of the pancreas, can cause permanent damage to the pancreas that can lead to type-1 diabetes. So you can be maybe 50+ and then get type 1.Diabetes has a long list of complications. I'll list a few complications here. Blindness, Amputations, Kidney failure, Peripheral Arterial Disease, known as PAD for short, and Heart Attacks & Strokes.One of the least-discussed complications of diabetes (all types) is diabetic deterioration: damage to the pancreas and body from high blood glucose (hyperglycemia), which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the pancreas at making insulin, and increases insulin resistance. These in turn make diabetes worse, causing poorly-treated type-2 diabetics over time to become more and more like type-1 patients. For this reason, it's best to treat high blood glucose aggressively even in early stages, so as to prevent the later stages. See the link below "Keeping your blood sugar under control"No, gonorrhea is an STD and diabetes, as you can see above, is a much different type of disease.


Do diseases or disorder affect the pancreas?

Pancreatic cancer, diabetes (. both type one and type two), cystic fibrosis, and acute and chronic pancreatitis. The cause of the cancer is not known. Cause of the type one diabetes is damage of beta cells by antibody formation secondary to viral infection. Pancreatitis is due to chronic alcoholism.


What is type 2 diebetises?

Type 2 diabetes is also known as "adult onset diabetes." It is sometimes causes by being overweight. However, it can also occur in normal weight people if there is a history of diabetes in the family. It is when your pancreas is not putting out enough insulin to support the body. It can sometimes be cured by diet and exercise.


Can bears get diabetes?

Any animal with pancreatic damage can get diabetes. The pancreas develops natural insulin to help convert fat and sugar in the body and blood (respectively) properly. If the pancreas fails, a boosting drug may be needed. If it fails completely, artificial insulin is required. I hope this bear you speak of is tame. I can't see it agreeing to taking insulin by any means voluntarily. Unless you can shoot it with an insulin dart...


With the intake of alcoholic beverages damage to your pancreas can include what?

the constant intake of alcoholic beverages can cause damage to the pancreas that can include pancreatitis. It can also pancreatic cysts to form.


Prolonged use of alcoholic beverages has been shown to do no damage to the pancreas true or false?

Prolonged use of alcoholic beverages has been shown to damage the pancreas. Large amounts of alcohol lessens the enzymes released by the pancreas causing inflammation.
