Los riesgos del trasplante de páncreas abarcan:

Coágulos de sangre (trombosis venosa profunda).
Coagulación (trombosis) de las arterias o las venas del nuevo páncreas.
Desarrollo de ciertos cánceres después de unos años.
Inflamación del páncreas (pancreatitis).
Escape de líquido del nuevo páncreas donde se conecta al intestino o a la vejiga.
Rechazo.

El sistema inmunitario del cuerpo considera al órgano trasplantado como un extraño y lo combate. Para prevenir el rechazo, los pacientes con trasplante de órgano deben tomar medicamentos (tales como ciclosporina y corticosteroides) que debilitan la respuesta inmunitaria del cuerpo. Esto hace que la persona tenga menor capacidad de combatir infecciones y puede causar otros problemas de salud.
