[De novo diabetic glomerulosclerosis in kidney transplants].
Report on 3 cases who had been non-diabetics at the time of cadaver kidney transplantation. After that within 1-5 years diabetes mellitus developed. The patients died 13-14 years after transplantation (9-12 years of diabetes duration). Autopsy revealed typical nodular glomerulosclerosis including diffuse mesangial widening, glomerular aneurysms, exudative lesions, capsular drops, arteriolosclerosis, and in 2 cases with hyalinosis of the vas efferens; moreover, chronic transplant glomerulopathy was found in all cases. Steroid therapy seemed to be responsible for the diabetic state, in 2 cases apparently in combination with disposition.
