Pancreas transplant in India

The pancreas transplant in India is a medical procedure in which a diseased pancreas is replaced with a healthy pancreas that is functioning properly. In most cases, a pancreas transplant is recommended to patients with type 1 diabetes who are not able to control their blood sugar levels despite taking proper medication. Insulin is produced by the healthy pancreas. After a pancreas transplant, the transplanted pancreas can produce insulin, thus no longer requires insulin injections. Under the guidance of experienced surgeons like Dr. Prashant Kadam, a patient is provided with expert medical treatment, from pre-surgery evaluation to post-surgery recovery.

Role of a Pancreas Transplant in Managing Diabetes

In diabetes, especially type 1, a patient’s vital organs are likely to suffer damage due to uncontrolled blood sugars. A  pancreas transplant is recommended to patients who have poor control over their blood sugar levels despite insulin injections. After a pancreas transplant, a patient is able to control their blood sugar levels as their body can produce insulin. In some cases, a patient may require a multi-organ transplant, like a pancreas and a kidney transplant, to deal with complications that result from diabetes. A pancreas transplant can help protect other vital organs from diabetes-related damage.
