ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
New-onset diabetes mellitus after organ transplantation (PTDM) significantly impairs patient and organ survival. Published rates of PTDM range from 2% to 54%, depending on the definition.OBJECTIVES:
To analyze incidence of PTDM after renal transplantation according to recent guidelines and to evaluate implementation of a prospective standardized screening protocol. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Data for all consecutive patients who underwent transplantation from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed retrospectively for PTDM. In a prospective pilot trial all candidates for living related donor transplantation underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test at evaluation prior to renal transplantation and at 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter.RESULTS:
Data for 181 out of 271 consecutive patients were analyzed. Of these patients, 36 (19.9%) developed PTDM. Age, body mass index, pretransplantation fasting glucose concentration, and number of HLA mismatches were significant predictive risk factors. Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus occurred more frequently in patients receiving a cadaver organ compared with a living donor organ and in those receiving tacrolimus therapy vs cyclosporine therapy. Preliminary results demonstrated a 55.5% incidence of PTDM at 3 months in patients who received a living donor organ, much higher than expected.CONCLUSIONS:
With an incidence of approximately 20%, PTDM is a frequent complication of transplantation. Prospective screening using oral glucose tolerance testing is a more sensitive method for detection of impaired glucose metabolism and PTDM. Relevance and therapeutic consequences must be determined in large-scale prospective studies.
