title: Risk factors for the development of new-onset diabetes mellitus in a living related renal transplant program.
abstract: New-onset diabetes mellitus is associated with considerable morbidity after transplantation. We evaluated 78 living related renal transplant recipients due to all causes except diabetic nephropathy a waiting a living related renal transplantation. We evaluated demographic characteristics, pretransplant glycemic profile, fasting C-peptide levels, plasma insulin levels, pretransplant insulin resistance, and immunosuppression protocols. Among the 16.7% of patients developing diabetes mellitus at the end of 1 year, age, family history, and impaired glucose tolerance at the time of transplantation correlated with the development of diabetes mellitus in the posttransplant period.
