Después del procedimiento:

Ver: trasplante de riñón para mayor información.

Pronóstico:

Si el trasplante tiene éxito, usted ya no necesitará aplicarse inyecciones de insulina, ni verificar su azúcar en la sangre diariamente ni seguir una dieta para diabéticos.

Hay indicios de que es posible que las complicaciones de la diabetes, como la retinopatía diabética, no empeoren -e incluso probablemente mejoren- después de un trasplante de páncreas y riñón.

Más del 95% de las personas sobrevive el primer año después de un trasplante de páncreas. El riesgo de rechazo del órgano es del 1% cada año aproximadamente.

Usted debe tomar fármacos que prevengan el rechazo al páncreas y riñón donados por el resto de su vida.

La calidad de vida después de un trasplante de páncreas ha mejorado. Casi todos los pacientes descubren que la vida diaria es mucho más fácil y más satisfactoria.
