Pancreas Transplant Complications

Similar to any surgical procedure, the potential for complications exists in a pancreas transplant. While not every patient experiences these complications, being informed about them is advisable. Here are some common complications associated with pancreas transplant:

  • Rejection: Organ rejection is a major complication post-transplant; however , the risk is significantly reduced through relevant precautionary measures and optimal donor organ matching. It is advisable to consult your doctor if you observe symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, reduced urine quantity, or painful urination.
  • Blood Clot: The formation of blood clots in the blood vessels supplying the donor pancreas is a common 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 minimize the risk of infection.
  • Hyperglycemia: Excessive sugar in the blood may be observed.
  • Other Metabolic Problems
  • Urinary Complications: These may include urine leakage or urinary tract infection.
