title: [Treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients after renal transplantation].
abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disease, an independent risk factor of coronary disease, and shortens lifetime in all populations of patients, including kidney transplant recipients. Patients after kidney transplantation are exceptionally predisposed to develop or to exacerbate the preexisting DM. Age, DM in family, CMV infections, genetic factor (HLA A26 and B27), immunosuppressive treatment with steroids or calcineurin inhibitors belong to the major risk factors of diabetes. We analyzed 1300 renal transplant recipients in our center. Out of them 153 suffered from DM. DM de novo revealed 80 pts. Mean age in type I pts was 44.88 years and in type II pts was 57.27 years. De novo diabetics were 56.41 years old in average. CMV infection, potentially pathogenic in development of DM de novo, coexisted in 7.5% of these cases as frequently as in whole TPN population. Most frequently detected HLA antigens were: A2, B8 and DR5. Use of cyclosporine and tacrolimus promoted incidence of DM. We conclude, that low percentage of de novo DM in patients after renal transplantation may result from flexibility in administration of immunosuppressive regimens. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus treatment was switched to sirolimus or mycophenolate mofetil when the glucose intolerance was detected to prevent development of DM.
