About Pancreas Transplant Care Care at Northeast Kidney Care
For select patients with Type 1 Diabetes and end-stage kidney disease, a simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) or pancreas-after-kidney (PAK) transplant restores endogenous insulin production, normalizes glycemic control, and shields the new kidney allograft from diabetic microvascular recurrence.
Dual-Organ Endocrine and Nephrology Surveillance
Managing a pancreas graft requires nuanced expertise in metabolic biochemistry and transplant nephrology. We routinely assess serum amylase, lipase, urinary amylase, HbA1c, and donor-specific antibodies to detect early rejection before endocrine dysfunction occurs.
