Abstract:
Objective To explore the incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) by means of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and other associated risk factors in patients surviving for more than 1 year after renal transplantation.Methods A total of 428 non-diabetic patients,who underwent kidney transplantation from 1 January,1993 to 31 December,2008,were followed up in order to ascertain the prevalence of PTDM after transplantation and other associated risk factors by means of FPG.Results Of the 428 patients,87 developed PTDM (20.3%) within a mean follow-up of (5.65 ± 3.68) years after renal transplantation.The onset of PTDM occurred in 57 patients (65.5% of total PTDM) primarily within the first year after transplantation.Univariate analysis showed that older age,body mass index (BMI),smoking history,family history of diabetes mellitus,deceased donor transplantation,hepatitis C virus infection,cytomegalovirus infection,FPG before transplantation as well as 1 week after transplantation,total cholesterol and triglyceride before transplantation,switching from cyclosporine to tacrolimus(FK506),and peak plasma concentration of cyclosporine in the first 6 and 12 months were associated with the onset of PTDM.The prevalence of PTDM was markedly elevated in the group who has cyclosporine converted to FK506 (P<0.05),but not in the group with cyclosporine converted to rapamycin.By multivariate analysis,FPG before transplantation,age,BMI,and deceased donor transplantation were independently associated with the onset of PTDM.Conclusions There is high incidence of PTDM in patients following renal transplantation; and early diagnosis,treatment as well as prevention are mandatory.
