Pancreas transplant weight gain mystery: is extra digestive juice to blame?
NCT ID NCT04690738
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out if extra digestive juices from the new pancreas cause weight gain after a pancreas transplant. Researchers will measure a digestive enzyme in the stool of 50 transplant recipients and see if it relates to how much weight they gain. The goal is to better understand the problem so doctors can develop targeted treatments, like drugs that block fat absorption.
