ForwardWhere Have All the Pancreata Gone? A Crisis in Modern Day Transplantation
Activity description
This activity consists of recorded presentations from the 28th Annual National Conference held in Minneapolis, Minn., on Oct. 15, 2019.
Pancreas and islet cell transplantation is recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes and select patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to treat or prevent complications from diabetes. While more than 90 percent of patients with diabetes have T2D, pancreas transplantation is underused in this population. Furthermore, the number of pancreas transplants in the United States has been declining since 2004. This presentation will identify the indications for pancreas transplant for T2D and factors contributing to the decreased use of pancreas transplant, as well as compare the benefits of pancreas transplant versus insulin pumps for this population.
