UK Guidelines on Pancreas and Islet Transplantation

UK Guidelines on Pancreas and Islet Transplantation - British Transplantation Society

These guidelines cover solid organ pancreas transplantation (referred to as ‘pancreas transplantation’), and allogeneic islets of Langerhans transplantation (referred to as ‘islet transplantation’). These guidelines exclude islet autotransplantation.

In addition, pancreas transplantation from living donors has not been performed in the United Kingdom due to concerns about the risks of donor diabetes mellitus (5), and this topic is therefore not covered in these guidelines.

Although the anaesthesia and critical care of pancreas transplant recipients is an important part of the transplant pathway, these guidelines do not cover these topics in detail.
