title: [Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the clinical rules of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM).
  
  
  METHODS
  21 patients treated from Dec. 1992 to Sept. 1998 were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The morbidity of PTDM was 16.3% of total patients in the corresponding period. Between the groups of PTDM and NON-PTDM, there was statistical significance in age, kidney function and family diabetic history. It was not related to CSA bottom concentration and acute rejection. In this group 2 cases were complicated by hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic comas (9.5%) and 11 various infections (52.4%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PTDM as a secondary diabetes due to antirejection drugs and allograft kidney function may cause serious consequences if it is treated improperly.
