UNOS on Pancreas Transplant

Pancreas donation is the donation of a segment of the pancreas or the whole organ. According to Transplant Living, while it is possible for a living donor to donate a pancreas segment, most pancreas donation transplants involve the whole organ from a deceased donor.
With a pancreas that does not work well, it cannot produce insulin the body’s cells need to grow and function, and can lead to diabetes, hardening of the blood vessels and cause a heart attack, kidney failure or a stroke.
