Know about Pancreas Transplantation in Diabetics!

-



The pancreas transplant is a medical procedure to place a healthy pancreas from a departed donor into a person whose pancreas no longer works properly. The pancreas is an organ that lies behind the lower part of the stomach. One of its principal functions is to make insulin, a hormone that regulates the consumption of glucose into the body cells. If the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin, blood sugar levels accelerate to toxic levels, resulting in type 1 diabetes. The advantages of pancreas transplantation implicated for diabetics is significantly effective in improving the quality of life of type 1 diabetic patients, and it can also eliminate acute diabetes complexities, such as hypoglycaemic cases.

 

Most pancreas transplants are done to treat type 1 diabetes. A pancreas transplant offers a potential cure for this condition. But it is typically reserved for those with serious complications of diabetes because the side effects of a pancreas transplant can be significant. In some cases, pancreas transplants may also treat type 2 diabetes. Rarely, pancreas transplants may be used in the treatment of pancreatic, bile duct, or other cancers. A pancreas transplant is often done in conjunction with a kidney transplant in people whose kidneys have been damaged by diabetes.

 

Also, know about the risks emerging:

 

·         Blood clots.

·         Bleeding.

·         Infection.

·         Excess sugar in the blood (hyperglycaemia) or other metabolic problems.

·         Urinary complications, including leaking or urinary tract infections.

·         Failure of the donated pancreas.

·         Rejection of the donated pancreas.

Bitter melon is connected to control the body's glucose which helps in treating diabetes in few cases; As the Bitter melon has properties that act like insulin, which carries glucose into the cells for energy which transforms and winds up in the circulatory system.

Does SARS-CoV-2 overwhelm Early DKD patients?

In diabetic kidney disease patients, there is a weaker immune system and poor metabolic function in the body. Hence the  Strain 2 COVID  deaths were increasing till the day with unknown symptoms. The major reason behind this is, the new strain SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for entry into the host cells. Using Bayesian integrative Analysis, a large collection of public-omics datasets identifies the molecular network includes  ACE2 -expressing proximal tubular in diabetic kidney disease. If there is a positive angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in diabetic kidney disease patients, it may overlap with the expression pattern seen in the SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and overwhelm the patient's condition. And the treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with  chronic kidney diseases  is still unclear.      The SARS-CoV-2 virus changes very slowly than the other viruses. This virus transmission can occur through direct ...
