title: Correlation between CMV Infection and Post-transplantation New-onset Diabetes Mellitus.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) is a well-known complication of transplantation.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the correlation between CMV infection and NODAT.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospectively, we detected CMV replication (PCR) in every month after renal transplantation in the first 12 months of the procedure in a homogenous group of patients from the immunosuppression point of view.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 167 patients (64 with NODAT and 103 in the control group), the average amount of CMV viremia was not significantly different between the NODAT and the control group (p=0.929). In the 10thmonth of transplantation, we recorded a significantly higher CMV viremia in the NODAT group (p<0.0001), however, in the multivariant analysis, the observed statistical difference vanished. The survival of patients and grafts was 12 months after kidney transplantation without any statistically significant difference between the studied groups (p=0.611 and p=0.538, respectively).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CMV is not a risk factor for NODAT.
