Pancreas Transplantation Complications

As with any surgical intervention, complications may arise following a pancreas transplant. While not every patient necessarily encounters these complications, being aware of them is prudent. The following are common complications associated with pancreas transplant:

  • Rejection: Organ rejection is a major post-transplant complication. However, diligent precautions and meticulous donor organ matching significantly reduce the likelihood of pancreas rejection. It is advisable to consult your doctor if you notice symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, reduced urine output, or painful urination.
  • Blood Clot Formation: The occurrence of blood clots in the blood vessels supplying the donor pancreas is a frequently encountered complication.
  • Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas may occur shortly after the transplantation process.
  • Infection: Due to a compromised immune system, your doctor may prescribe antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral medications to mitigate the risk of infection.
  • Hyperglycemia: Excessive sugar levels in the blood may be observed.
  • Other Metabolic Issues
  • Urinary Complications: These may include urine leakage or urinary tract infection.
  • Failure of the Donated Pancreas
