Pancreatic islet cell transplantation is a treatment alternative for patients with type 1 diabetes who experience hypoglycemic unawareness despite maximal care. The good results obtained by the group from Edmonton and other centers, with 80% insulin independence at 1 year posttransplant, are not sustainable over time, with 5-year insulin independence achieved in only 10% of patients. However, persistent graft function, even without insulin independence, results in improved glucose control and avoidance of hypoglycemic events. Changes in organ preservation, islet processing technique, and immunosuppression regimens can result in improvement of results in the future. Islet autotransplantation is an option for patients who undergo total pancreatectomy for chronic pancreatitis with debilitating pain, in which reinfusion of the islets from the resected pancreas can result in avoidance of postsurgical diabetes or enhanced glucose control.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009927 Tissue and Organ Procurement The administrative procedures involved with acquiring TISSUES or organs for TRANSPLANTATION through various programs, systems, or organizations. These procedures include obtaining consent from TISSUE DONORS and arranging for transportation of donated tissues and organs, after TISSUE HARVESTING, to HOSPITALS for processing and transplantation.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
