A. You may receive a donated pancreas from a person who has irreversible brain injury and who has previously registered to become an organ donor or the family wishes to donate. Please be prepared to wait as long as three-five years for a pancreas from a deceased donor. In addition, the donor must have a blood type compatible with your own and be similar in body weight and size.
