Found in the United States of America alone that nearly 2,500 people in any day of the year waiting for the cultivation of the pancreas with kidney, and that there are nearly 1,700 people waiting for pancreas transplant alone. However not available from donors only 900 people a year for the cultivation of the pancreas with the kidneys, and about 500-600 people a year for the cultivation of the pancreas alone.
Due to the difficulty of obtaining a full member of the deceased persons because of the desire of some to donate their organs after death, and to reduce the waiting period for diabetics and may result in serious complications may lead his life, there experiments are underway to cultivate part of the pancreas instead of the full User is taken of living persons. Was conducted only about 50 operations this way.
Most of these operations were performed on patients who underwent kidney transplantation with pancreas at the same time, where I give these patients one kidney and part of the pancreas of a person volunteer neighborhood. Well is currently testing beta cell transplants by extracting the cells from the pancreas of a person volunteers and injected into the patient sugar.
