Diabetes mellitus is a very common metabolic disease with a rising incidence. I tis both leading cause of chronic renal disease and one of the most seriois complication in solid organ recipients. Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is associated with higher rate of cardiovascular complications and poor graft function affecting patients morbidity and mortality. Risk factors can be divided into non-modifiable (age, gender, race, genetic backround) and modifiable (obesity, proteinuria, perioperative proteinuria, infection, immunossuppressive drugs). Pre- and post-transplant management can be designed by the risk factors and therefore we could reduce the incidence and impact of PTDM.
