"It is, therefore, difficult to predict the clinical outcomes of kidney trasplantation based on the results of islet isolation," the authors concluded.

Adverse events in islet transplantation

While noting that "islet transplantation is one of the most promising therapies for unstable type 1 diabetes," researchers from the Baylor Research Institute report on the nature and severity of adverse effects nine patients encountered after a combined total of 17 islet transplants.

"The results of islet transplantation need to further improve to justify disadvantages," said study author Dr. Shinichi Matsumoto of the Baylor Research Institute Islet cell Laboratory.

According to the researchers, 16 severe adverse events (SAEs) and 12 less severe adverse events (AEs) occurred within the first year after transplantation. The grade three SAEs included elevated liver enzymes, hemorrhage, infection and renal dysfunction. The case of neutropenia was a grade four. Twelve of the 16 SAEs were likely related to the transplant protocols, they said, while five AEs were judged to be related to infusion procedures as they occurred within 10 days of islet infusion. Seven events occurring after 50 days were related to immunosuppresive therapy.
