[QUOTE="azure, post: 1273282, member: 39639"] I don't know anything about islet cell transplants other than what I've read, but I have a relative on immuno-suppressant drugs after an organ transplant. They had no choice but to have this transplant so the side effects of the drugs are worth it for them. As mentioned above, I think you need to question more about this. Don't answer if you don't want to, but why would you be having a kidney transplant at the same time possibly? If you have serious kidney issues and need a transplant then obviously you'd be taking the anti-rejection drugs anyway so having the islets would just be an 'add on'. Are there any psychological or other alternatives? I'd be making a big list of questions! [/QUOTE]
