Patterns and Natural History of Insulin Secretion in Islet Cell Transplant Recipients and Controls

NCT00018122 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2005-06-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This grant is to study patients that have received a kidney transplant AND an Islet Cell transplant and to discover how the transplant is functioning. We will seek to have several patients who have had a kidney transplant but do NOT have either type of diabetes. These patients will serve as the "control group" since they will also be on immunosuppressive medications but are not affected by abnormal blood sugars. This will allow investigators to develop an understanding of how these immunosuppressive medications affect glucose metabolism (blood sugar levels) and insulin utilization (how the body uses insulin).
