Abstract
An equivalent islet number (EIN) greater than 300,000 is necessary for islet cell transplantation for a recipient who weighs about 60Â kg. The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect isolation outcome. The most significant independent predictor for successful islet isolation from deceased donors was low international normalized ratio (INR).
