ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Among the many complications that can occur after liver transplantation are diabetes and hypertension. In this study, we evaluated the overall prevalence of and identified predictors for post-transplantation diabetes and hypertension.METHODS:
This study was retrospective. We collected the data of the patients from the database in the liver transplant unit.RESULTS:
Incidence of new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) was 25% and incidence of post-transplantation hypertension was 20%. No predictors were found for NODAT. Predictors of post-transplantation hypertension were body mass index and use of cyclosporine.CONCLUSIONS:
Diabetes and hypertension are common after liver transplantation. Predictors of post-transplantation hypertension are high body mass index and use of cyclosporine.
