Donor Care before Pancreatic Tissue Transplantation

- Summary

- Metrics

Abstract

Publications are reviewed to identify factors related to donor care that may optimize the function of pancreatic tissue (whole or segmental organ or islet cells) after transplantation. Short cold ischemia time, avoidance of hypotension, and treatment of donor hyperglycemia appear to be beneficial, although additional properly designed studies are needed to verify those findings.
