A member asked:
Can you tell me is it possible for a 14 year old girl to give a partial pancreas transplant to her 16 year old sister?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not as a 14 year old: While living donor partial pancreas transplants have been done, primarily at the university of minnesota, you would not be able to donate given your age. Your sister might be considered for a whole pancreas transplant from a standard deceased donor, but must meet certain criteria. There are many such pancreata that are not currently being used, so there is not a shortage. C transplant program.
