In the course of 20-25 years' duration of disease, a large proportion of patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus develop micro- and macro-angiopathy and morphological organ changes. The development of late complications in diabetes is significantly correlated to the level of blood sugar regulation, and can be prevented or delayed by the establishment of stable normoglycaemia. A successful pancreas transplantation is today the sole means available for inducing stable normoglycaemia in patients with insulin deficiency. More than 5,000 pancreas transplantations have already been performed throughout the world, in most cases concomitantly with renal transplantation in patients with late stage diabetes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007166	Immunosuppressive Agents	Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

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.

D003928	Diabetic Nephropathies	KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
