Islet Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetic Kidney Allograft (NCT01241864)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of islet transplantation when performed after kidney transplantation, which may provide more normal control of blood sugar without the need for insulin shots. Islets are special clusters of cells within the pancreas that produce insulin. These cells will be obtained from cadaver (non-living) donors and given to subjects by vein.
