New method of treatment for diabetes mellitus & its complications.

Since 1979 a new method of treatment for diabetes mellitus and its complications was discovered in Russia in the Research Institute of Transplants. This method underwent clinical tests and was allowed to use since 1983, December 13.

1. What's the method like? This is xeno-transplantation of the culture of islet cells, producing insulin is the patient's body and also stimulating the production of its own insulin.

2. What kind of culture is it? This is islet cells of a newly-born rabbit's pancreas.

3. Why rabbit's? Because the rabbit's insulin is the closest to the man's insulin.

12. Are there any complications after the transplantation? The risk of complications after the transplantation is totally excluded as: The method of extracting the B-cells culture fully excludes the rejection reactions and aiiergic reactions. Every portion of the culture is supplied with the quality certificate. The rabbits come from the special research-producing farm, which is under the control of the Research Institute of vet materials and that excludes infections diseases of the animals.

13. What examination does a patient have to undergo before the transplantation? General and bio-chemical blood tests. Analysis of the urine. Ultrasonic scanning of the abdominal cavity organs, etc. (according to the tests). Ophthalmological examination. Consultations of a dentist and other spesultations.
