Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Effect of metabolic disorders after kidney transplantation on prognosis, especially new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), has aroused concerns.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors for NODAT in renal transplant recipients, thus providing reference for identifying high-risk patients and taking active prevention measures.
METHODS: Clinical data of 365 patients undergoing allograft renal transplantation were analyzed retrospectively. According to whether NODAT occurred or not, all the patients were assigned to NODAT (n=71) and non-NODAT (n=294) groups. The independent risk factors for NODAT were determined using univariate 
and non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cumulative incidence of NODAT in renal transplant recipients within year postoperatively was 19.45%. Non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 45 years old, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2, family history of diabetes mellitus and acute rejection were associated with NODAT in renal transplant recipients. To conclude, the age, family history of diabetes mellitus, high body mass index and acute rejection can increase the incidence of NODAT in renal transplant recipients.
