Abstract |
:
The development of a precise and easy-to-use tool for monitoring islet graft function is important in clarifying the causes of graft loss, identifying appropriate therapy, and ensuring graft survival in the nonhuman primate (NHP) model of porcine islet transplantation (PITx). Glycated albumin (GA) is an indicator of intermediate-term changes in blood glucose control and is useful in clinical diabetes management. The validity of GA for monitoring graft function in NHP recipients of PITx was evaluated using a retrospective analysis of cohort samples. |
