    Author: Yao X, Hu Q, Chen C.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2000 Jan; 38(1):67-8. PubMed ID: 11831993.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical rules of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM). METHODS: 21 patients treated from Dec. 1992 to Sept. 1998 were analysed. RESULTS: The morbidity of PTDM was 16.3% of total patients in the corresponding period. Between the groups of PTDM and NON-PTDM, there was statistical significance in age, kidney function and family diabetic history. It was not related to CSA bottom concentration and acute rejection. In this group 2 cases were complicated by hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic comas (9.5%) and 11 various infections (52.4%). CONCLUSIONS: PTDM as a secondary diabetes due to antirejection drugs and allograft kidney function may cause serious consequences if it is treated improperly.
