Abstract
Pancreatic endocrine function was investigated in dogs after heterotopic pancreatic allotransplantation. A marked hyperinsulinemia was found in peripheral venous blood within the first 60 min postoperatively. This was associated with hypoglycemia and hypokalemia occurring within the next 2-3 h resulting eventually in death. The hypoglycemia and hypokalemia could be corrected by parenteral dextrose and K given the first 2 h postoperatively or prevented by parenteral hydrocortisone given at the time of transplantation.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
