Post-Transplant Diabetes Mellitus in Renal Transplant Recipients, Single-Centre Data: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Effect on Graft Function and Mortality

Background: De novo post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a frequent complication among renal transplant recipients; it confers a high risk for graft failure and patient mortality. This single-centre study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of PTDM and its effects on graft outco...

description Background: De novo post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a frequent complication among renal transplant recipients; it confers a high risk for graft failure and patient mortality. This single-centre study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of PTDM and its effects on graft outcome and mortality. Methods: In a single-centre longitudinal cohort analysis of 383 non-diabetic renal transplant follow-up recipients, outcomes were analysed through a detailed chart review. We hypothesized that different donor and recipient characters such as age, gender, and HLA mismatch would affect PTDM development in renal transplant recipients. PTDM is defined on basis of fasting plasma sugar (≥7 mmol/L or ≥126 mg/dL), random plasma sugar (≥11.1 mmol/L or ≥200 mg/dL), and glycated haemoglobin (HBA1C: >6.5% or 48 mmol/mol). We assessed PTDM incidence, risk factors, and its effect on patient mortality and graft outcome using Cox regression. Results: The mean age at the time of transplantation was 35.70 (±14.27) years, and 50.91% were male. PTDM incidence in the study period was 23.30%. Independent risk factors include older age at the time of transplantation, cyclosporine immunosuppression, cytomegalovirus, and hepatitis C virus infection. PTDM is not associated with graft dysfunction, whereas it significantly carries high mortality. Conclusion: PTDM is common among renal transplant recipients. Older age at the time of transplantation, cyclosporine immunosuppression, cytomegalovirus, and hepatitis C virus are risk factors. PTDM carries high mortality but is not associated with graft failure.
