Does a pancreas transplant have to come from a deceased donor? - deceased donor transplant
My husband may need a kidney transplant. Her specialist told her it would be better to have a pancreas transplant at the same time because of his diabetes out of control. I know that a kidney can be from a living donor, but it would not be put on the waiting list for a pancreas?

Yes, the pancreas, it should not come from a living donor, usually the one who died due to brain injury. With respect to the kidneys, each of us is born with 2, so that someone who can donate it. Liver can regenerate in some cases, you may receive a portion of the liver and one whole. However, the pancreas, an organ that must be maintained at work.
Sounds good, but the best time to find organ donors, is the season of the bicycle.
You can receive a portion of the pancreas in a living donor.
Also, however, believe that waiting times for kidney transplantation of the pancreas from a donor who died in May phones tend to be shorter than the single kidney transplants from deceased donors. You can transplant center to ask if this is true.
