What is Pancreas Transplant?
A pancreas transplant is a major surgical procedure in which a healthy pancreas from a deceased (or occasionally living) donor is implanted to restore normal insulin production, primarily in patients with complicated Type 1 diabetes or diabetes-related kidney failure. It is often performed together with a kidney transplant in patients who have diabetic kidney disease, offering long-term freedom from insulin injections and improved quality of life. This procedure requires lifelong immunosuppression and careful donor-recipient matching.
Who may be considered?
Pancreas Transplant may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Both the pancreas and kidney are transplanted from the same donor in a single operation, ideal for patients with Type 1 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease.
Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney (SPK) Transplant
Most CommonBoth the pancreas and kidney are transplanted from the same donor in a single operation, ideal for patients with Type 1 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease.
Comprehensive Investigations
CBC, blood group typing, HLA cross-matching, HbA1c, kidney function tests, liver function tests, cardiac evaluation (ECG, echocardiogram), chest X-ray, abdominal CT/MRI, viral serology (HIV, Hepatitis B/C), C-peptide levels
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Stay in India
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-transplant evaluation and donor matching
- Surgeon, anesthesia and OT charges
- ICU and ward stay
- Immunosuppressant induction therapy
- Post-op monitoring and rehabilitation support
Usually Not Included
- Deceased/living donor organ procurement costs (as per local regulations)
- Long-term immunosuppressant medications after discharge
- International travel and visa fees
- Accommodation for attendant/companion
- Any unforeseen complications requiring extended ICU stay
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery typically involves 2-3 weeks of close hospital monitoring for organ function and rejection signs, followed by 2-3 months of gradual return to normal activity with regular blood tests and clinic visits. Lifelong immunosuppression and periodic monitoring of pancreas and kidney function are essential.
Risks
As with any major transplant surgery, risks include organ rejection, infection, blood clots, bleeding, pancreatic leak or thrombosis, and side effects from long-term immunosuppression. Careful donor matching and specialist post-operative care significantly reduce these risks.
Alternatives
For patients not eligible for transplant, alternatives include intensive insulin therapy with continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump therapy, or islet cell transplantation in select centers. These options manage diabetes but do not offer the same long-term insulin independence as a pancreas transplant.
