Continuous glucose monitoring for the prediction of posttransplant diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance on day 90 after kidney transplantation-A prospective proof-of-concept study. Am J Transplant 2024; 24:2225-2234. [PMID: 39047976 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajt.2024.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and prediabetes represent serious complications after kidney transplantation and are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We assessed the predictive performance of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared with plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c in 46 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) without known preexisting diabetes mellitus. CGM (14-day recording duration) was performed on days 8, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 180 posttransplant. Eight patients (17%) developed PTDM and nine (20%) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), as diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT)-derived 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) or glucose-lowering therapy on day 90. CGM-readouts percent of time >140 mg/dL (%TAR (140 mg/dL)) and percent of time >180 mg/dL (%TAR (180 mg/dL)) showed excellent in-sample test characteristics regarding PTDM from day 8 onward (days 8-90 receiver operating characteristic area under the curve: 0.88-0.99) and regarding PTDM/IGT with the commencement of maintenance immunosuppression from day 30 onward (days 30-90 receiver operating characteristic area under the curve: 0.88-0.91). Exploratory CGM-%TAR (140 mg/dL)-screening thresholds of 31.8% on day 8 and 13.2% on day 30 yielded sensitivities/specificities of 88%/83% for PTDM and 94%/78% for PTDM/IGT on day 90, respectively. Although our findings need to be replicated in studies with larger sample sizes, CGM bears promising potential to facilitate clinical practice and research regarding PTDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Kidney transplantation is the gold standard therapeutic alternative for patients with end-stage renal disease; nevertheless, it is not without potential complications leading to considerable morbidity and mortality such as post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). This narrative review aims to comprehensively evaluate PTDM in terms of its diagnostic approach, underlying pathophysiological pathways, epidemiological data, and management strategies. METHODS Articles were retrieved from electronic databases using predefined search terms. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies investigating PTDM diagnosis, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and management strategies. RESULTS PTDM emerges as a significant complication following kidney transplantation, influenced by various pathophysiological factors including peripheral insulin resistance, immunosuppressive medications, infections, and proinflammatory pathways. Despite discrepancies in prevalence estimates, PTDM poses substantial challenges to transplant. Diagnostic approaches, including traditional criteria such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c, are limited in their ability to capture early PTDM manifestations. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) emerges as a valuable tool, particularly in the early post-transplant period. Management strategies for PTDM remain unclear, within sufficient evidence from large-scale randomized clinical trials to guide optimal interventions. Nevertheless, glucose-lowering agents and life style modifications constitute primary modalities for managing hyperglycemia in transplant recipients. DISCUSSION The complex interplay between PTDM and the transplant process necessitates individualized diagnostic and management approaches. While early recognition and intervention are paramount, modifications to maintenance immunosuppressive regimens based solely on PTDM risk are not warranted, given the potential adverse consequences such as increased rejection risk. Further research is essential to refine management strategies and enhance outcomes for transplant recipients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). RRT includes hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), kidney transplantation (KT), and medical management. As CKD advances, the management of DM may change as medication clearance, effectiveness, and side effects can be altered due to decreasing renal clearance. Medications like metformin that were safe to use early in CKD may build up toxic levels of metabolites in advanced CKD. Other medications, like sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, which work by excreting glucose in the urine, may not be able to work effectively in advanced CKD due to fewer working nephrons. Insulin breakdown may take longer, and both formulation and dosing may need to be changed to avoid hypoglycemia. While DM control contributes to CKD progression, effective DM control continues to be important even after patients have been placed on RRT. Patients on RRT are frequently taken care of by a team of providers, including the primary care physician, both in and outside the hospital. Non-nephrologists who are involved with the care of a patient treated with RRT need to be adept at managing DM in this population. This paper aims to outline the management of type 2 DM in advanced CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) can reach 30% during the first 6 months after kidney transplantation (KT), increasing the risk of graft failure and mortality. There is no well-established biomarker for predicting PTDM occurrence. This study evaluated the association between the abnormal 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the PTDM incidence. METHODS A retrospective single-center study, including adult kidney transplant recipients from deceased donors, was performed between March 2021 and June 2022. EXCLUSION CRITERIA age <18 years; pretransplant diabetes mellitus (DM); death with a functioning graft; loss of follow-up and/or graft failure before 6 months post-transplant. The results of pretransplant OGTT, fasting (FPG), and afternoon plasma glucose levels at hospitalization and FPG in the first, second, and third months post-transplant were evaluated. For analysis, patients were grouped according to the PTDM diagnosis: PTDM and non-PTDM. RESULTS From 164 KT performed in the period, 50 (30%) were included, most male (n = 34, 68%), with a mean age of 48.3 ± 12.5 years. Nine patients (18%) developed PTDM, 44% between 3 and 6 months. General characteristics and immunosuppressive therapy were similar between the groups. The mean FPG in the pretransplant OGTT was significantly higher in the PTDM group compared with the non-PTDM group (85.7 ± 7.9 vs 79.1 ± 8.2, P = .03). The number of patients classified as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) on the pre-transplant OGTT was significantly higher in the PTDM group. CONCLUSION IGT in the pretransplant OGTT was associated with PTDM cases in kidney transplant recipients without a previous diagnosis of DM.

Abstract
Introduction Kidney transplantation is associated with an increased risk of posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), impacting recipient and graft survivals. The incidence of PTDM ranges from 15% to 30%, with most cases occurring in the first year post-transplant. Some clinical and laboratory characteristics pre- and post-transplant may be associated with a higher PTDM incidence in a more extended follow-up period. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of PTDM among renal transplant recipients without previous DM diagnosis during a five-year post-transplant follow-up, as well as clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with a higher incidence of PTDM during this period. Material and methods Single-center retrospective cohort including kidney transplant recipients older than 18 years with a functioning graft over six months of follow-up between January and December 2018. Exclusion criteria were recipients younger than 18 years at kidney transplantation, previous diabetes mellitus diagnosis, and death with a functioning graft or graft failure within six months post-transplant. Results From 117 kidney transplants performed during the period, 71 (60.7%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 18 (25.3%) had PTDM diagnosis, and most (n=16, 88.9%) during the 1st year post-transplant. The need for insulin therapy during the hospital stay was significantly higher in the PTDM group (n=11, 61.1% vs. n=14, 26.4%, PTDM vs. non-PTDM). Other PTDM risk factors, such as older age, high body mass index, HLA mismatches, and cytomegalovirus or hepatitis C virus infections, were not associated with PTDM occurrence in this series. During 5-year post-transplant follow-up, the graft function remained stable in both groups. Conclusion The accumulated incidence of PTDM in this series was similar to the reported in other studies. The perioperative hyperglycemia with the need for treatment with insulin before hospital discharge was associated with PTDM.

Abstract
The mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR-Is, Sirolimus, and Everolimus) are immunosuppressive drugs widely employed in kidney transplantation. Their main mechanism of action includes the inhibition of a serine/threonine kinase with a pivotal role in cellular metabolism and in various eukaryotic biological functions (including proteins and lipids synthesis, autophagy, cell survival, cytoskeleton organization, lipogenesis, and gluconeogenesis). Moreover, as well described, the inhibition of the mTOR pathway may also contribute to the development of the post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), a major clinical complication that may dramatically impact allograft survival (by accelerating the development of the chronic allograft damage) and increase the risk of severe systemic comorbidities. Several factors may contribute to this condition, but the reduction of the beta-cell mass, the impairment of the insulin secretion and resistance, and the induction of glucose intolerance may play a pivotal role. However, although the results of several in vitro and in animal models, the real impact of mTOR-Is on PTDM is still debated and the entire biological machinery is poorly recognized. Therefore, to better elucidate the impact of the mTOR-Is on the risk of PTDM in kidney transplant recipients and to potentially uncover future research topics (particularly for the clinical translational research), we decided to review the available literature evidence regarding this important clinical association. In our opinion, based on the published reports, we cannot draw any conclusion and PTDM remains a challenge. However, also in this case, the administration of the lowest possible dose of mTOR-I should also be recommended.

Abstract
There is accumulating evidence that novel glucose-lowering agents infer potent cardiovascular and renal benefits. Therefore, it is imperative to reassess the management of post-transplant diabetes mellitus and consider the role of newer agents. With improved transplant-related survival and high prevalence of post-transplant diabetes, management of long-term complications such as diabetes are increasingly important. There are limited guidelines to assist in choice of appropriate agents after solid organ transplantation. Traditional therapies including insulin and sulfonylureas may still have a role; however, other agents should be considered prior. The evidence of novel glucose-lowering agents in post-transplant care is limited, and most studies have focused on kidney transplant recipients. While there are some parallels between renal and cardiac transplant recipients, the potential cardiovascular benefits, particularly on cardiac fibrosis are unique to cardiac transplantation. The treatment of diabetes, with a focus on additional cardiac and renal benefits, needs to be brought to the forefront of post-transplant care with incorporation of recent evidence outside of transplantation. The role for novel glucose-lowering agents in cardiac transplant recipients will be explored, with a summary of available evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucose metabolism after kidney transplantation (KT) is highly dynamic with the first post-transplantation year being the most critical period for new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) occurrence. The present study aimed to analyze dynamics of glucose metabolism and report incidence/risk factors of abnormal glycemic state during the first year after KT in children. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive freshly transplanted pediatric kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) were assessed for fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) weekly for 4 weeks, then every 3 months for 1 year. RESULTS Interpretation of OGTT test showed normal glucose tolerance (NGT) in 6 patients (28.6%) while 15 (71.4%) experienced impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) at any time point of monitoring. Seven patients had NODAT, for which three needed insulin therapy. Hyperglycemia onset was 7.8 ± 13.12 weeks (median (range) = 1 (0-24) week) after KT. Percent of patients with abnormal OGTT was significantly more than that of IFG (38.1% vs. 71.4%, p = 0.029). Patients with abnormal glycemic state had significantly elevated trough tacrolimus levels at 6 months (p = 0.03). Glucose readings did not correlate with steroid doses nor rejection episodes while positively correlating with tacrolimus doses at 3 months (p = 0.02, CC = 0.73) and 6 months (p = 0.01, CC = 0.63), and negatively correlating with simultaneous GFR at 9 months (p = 0.04, CC = - 0.57). CONCLUSIONS Up to two thirds of pediatric KTRs (71.4%) experienced abnormal glycemic state at some point with peak incidence within the first week up to 6 months after KT. OGTT was a better tool for monitoring of glucose metabolism than FPG. Abnormal glycemic state was induced by tacrolimus and adversely affected graft function. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance [IGT] and impaired fasting glucose [IFG]) are associated with cardiovascular events. We assessed the diagnostic performance of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c as alternatives to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) using sensitivity and specificity in 263 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from a clinical trial. Between visits at 6, 12, and 24 months after transplantation, 28%-31% of patients switched glycemic category (normal glucose tolerance [NGT], IGT/IFG, PTDM). Correlations of FPG and HbA1c against 2hPG were lower at 6 months (r = 0.59 [FPG against 2hPG]; r = 0.45 [HbA1c against 2hPG]) vs. 24 months (r = 0.73 [FPG against 2hPG]; r = 0.74 [HbA1c against 2hPG]). Up to 69% of 2hPG-defined PTDM cases were missed by conventional HbA1c and FPG thresholds. For prediabetes, concordance of FPG and HbA1c with 2hPG ranged from 6%-9%. In conclusion, in our well-defined randomized trial cohort, one-third of KTRs switched glycemic category over 2 years and although the correlations of FPG and HbA1c with 2hPG improved with time, their diagnostic concordance was poor for PTDM and, especially, prediabetes. Considering posttransplant metabolic instability, FPG's and HbA1c 's diagnostic performance, the OGTT remains indispensable to diagnose PTDM and prediabetes after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a prevalent complication in kidney transplant recipients, and has been associated with worse short-term and long-term outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS While hyperglycemia is frequently seen in the early posttransplant period because of surgical stress, infection, and use of high-dose steroids, the diagnosis of PTDM should be established after patients are clinically stable and on stable maintenance immunosuppression. In the early posttransplant period, hyperglycemia is typically treated with insulin, and pilot data have suggested potential benefit of lower vs. higher glycemic targets in this setting. Growing data indicate lifestyle modifications, including dietary interventions, physical activity, and mitigation of obesity, are associated with improved posttransplant outcomes. While there are limited data to support a first-line antidiabetic medication for PTDM, more established pharmacotherapies such as sulfonylureas, meglitinides, and dipetidyl peptidase IV inhibitors are commonly used. Given recent trials showing the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists upon kidney outcomes in nontransplant patients, further study of these agents specifically in kidney transplant recipients are urgently needed. SUMMARY Increasing evidence supports a multidisciplinary approach, including lifestyle modification, obesity treatment, judicious immunosuppression selection, and careful utilization of novel antidiabetic therapies in PTDM patients.

Association between preoperative lipid profiles and new-onset diabetes after transplantation in Chinese kidney transplant recipients: A retrospective cohort study. J Clin Lab Anal 2021; 35:e23867. [PMID: 34101909 PMCID: PMC8373348 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study investigated the association between the preoperative lipid profiles and new‐onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) in Chinese kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Methods In this study, of 1140 KTRs registered between January 1993 and March 2018 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, 449 were enrolled. Clinical data, obtained through a chart review of the patient records in the medical record system, were evaluated, and NODAT was diagnosed based on the American Diabetes Association guidelines. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to determine whether the preoperative lipid profiles in KTRs were independently associated with NODAT incidence. The preoperative lipid profiles were analyzed as continuous variables and grouped into tertiles. Smooth curve fitting was used to confirm the linear associations. Results During a median follow‐up of 28.03 (interquartile range 12.00–84.23) months, 104 of the 449 (23.16%) participants developed NODAT. The multivariate model analysis, adjusted for all potential covariates, showed that increased values of the following parameters were associated with NODAT (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval): preoperative total cholesterol (TC; 1.25, 1.09–1.58, p = 0.0495), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C; 1.33, 1.02–1.75, p = 0.0352), non‐high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non‐HDL‐C; 1.41, 1.09–1.82, p = 0.0084), TC/HDL‐C (1.28, 1.06–1.54, p = 0.0109), and non‐HDL‐C/HDL‐C (1.26, 1.05–1.52, p = 0.0138). However, the association between the preoperative triglyceride, HDL‐C, or TG/HDL‐C and NODAT was not significant. Conclusions Preoperative TC, LDL‐C, non‐HDL‐C, TC/HDL‐C, and non‐HDL‐C/HDL‐C were independent risk factors for NODAT.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is common after solid organ transplantation (SOT) and associated with increased morbidity and mortality for allograft recipients. Despite the significant burden of disease, there is a paucity of literature with regards to detection, prevention and management. Evidence from the general population with diabetes may not be translatable to the unique context of SOT. In light of emerging clinical evidence and novel anti-diabetic agents, there is an urgent need for updated guidance and recommendations in this high-risk cohort. The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) and Renal Association (RA) Diabetic Kidney Disease Clinical Speciality Group has undertaken a systematic review and critical appraisal of the available evidence. Areas of focus are; (1) epidemiology, (2) pathogenesis, (3) detection, (4) management, (5) modification of immunosuppression, (6) prevention, and (7) PTDM in the non-renal setting. Evidence-graded recommendations are provided for the detection, management and prevention of PTDM, with suggested areas for future research and potential audit standards. The guidelines are endorsed by Diabetes UK, the British Transplantation Society and the Royal College of Physicians of London. The full guidelines are available freely online for the diabetes, renal and transplantation community using the link below. The aim of this review article is to introduce an abridged version of this new clinical guideline ( https://abcd.care/sites/abcd.care/files/site_uploads/Resources/Position-Papers/ABCD-RA%20PTDM%20v14.pdf).

Abstract
Chronic metabolic alterations such as post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), dyslipidaemias and overweight/obesity significantly impact on kidney transplant (KT) outcomes. This joint position statement is based on the evidence on the management of metabolic alterations in KT recipients (KTRs) published after the release of the 2009 KDIGO clinical practice guideline for the care of KTRs. Members of the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN), the Italian Society for Organ Transplantation (SITO) and the Italian Diabetes Society (SID) selected to represent professionals involved in the management of KTRs undertook a systematic review of the published evidence for the management of PTDM, dyslipidaemias and obesity in this setting. The aim of this work is to provide an updated review of the evidence on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of metabolic alterations in KTRs, in order to support physicians, patients and the Healthcare System in the decision-making process when choosing among the various available options.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is an established therapeutic option for chronic disease resulting from end-stage organ dysfunction. Long-term use of immunosuppression is associated with post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM), placing patients at increased risk of infections, cardiovascular disease and mortality. The incidence rates for PTDM have varied from 10 to 40% between different studies. Diagnostic criteria have evolved over the years, as a greater understating of PTDM has been reached. There are differences in pathophysiology and clinical course of type 2 diabetes and PTDM. Hence, managing this condition can be a challenge for a diabetes physician, as there are several factors to consider when tailoring therapy for post-transplant patients to achieve better glycaemic as well as long-term transplant outcomes. This article is a detailed review of PTDM, examining the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria and management in light of the current evidence. The therapeutic options are discussed in the context of their safety and potential drug-drug interactions with immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evolution of glycemic changes after kidney transplantation has not been described. We prospectively examined glycemic control and variability over time from transplantation using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). METHOD Continuous glucose monitoring devices were fitted for 3 to 5 days at time of transplant, month 3, and month 6 posttransplant. Indices of glucose control (mean glucose, percent time in hyperglycemic range, and Glycemic Risk Assessment Diabetes Equation score) and variability were calculated. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed at month 3. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients (mean age, 45 ± 15 years) were enrolled, 64% male, 75% white, receiving tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and prednisolone (93%). Of 24 patients with complete CGM data at month 0, 3 had prior diabetes and 6 (25%) developed new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT). Hyperglycemia (>11.1 mM) was evident in 79% during days 0 to 3 posttransplant, particularly between 1 and 9 PM. Compared with recipients without diabetes, recipients with prior diabetes had higher mean glucose (7.8 mM; 95% confidence interval [CI], 7.4-8.2 vs 9.9 mM; 95% CI, 8.9-10.8; P < 0.001), Glycemic Risk Assessment Diabetes Equation (GRADE) score (4.5; 95% CI, 3.7-5.4 vs 7.8; 95% CI, 5.6-10.4; P = 0.003) and percent time with hyperglycemia. Glycemic control was also inferior in those that subsequently developed NODAT (mean glucose, 8.8 mM; 95% CI, 8.2-9.4; P = 0.004, GRADE: 6.2, 95% CI, 5.2-7.7; P = 0.04 vs no diabetes). Glucose variability was increased in patients with prior diabetes (glucose standard deviation, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.72-2.27 vs 2.97; 95% CI, 2.27-3.67; P = 0.006) but not in NODAT. All measures of glucose control and variability significantly improved over time after transplantation (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Dysglycemia is very common after renal transplantation, exhibiting a distinct diurnal pattern of afternoon and evening hyperglycemia. The magnitude of hyperglycemia and variability are maximal in recipients with preexisting diabetes and significant in those who go on to develop NODAT. Dysglycemia improves with time.

The Degree of Hyperglycemia Excursion in Patients of Kidney Transplantation (KT) or Liver Transplantation (LT) Assessed by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): Pilot Study. J Diabetes Res 2019; 2019:1757182.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study used a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) to investigate the glucose profiles and assess the degree of hyperglycemic excursion after kidney or liver transplantation during the early period after operation. METHODS Patients to whom a CGMS was attached during a postoperative period of approximately one month after transplantation were included. The CGM data of 31 patients including 24 with kidney transplantation (KT) and seven with liver transplantation (LT) were analyzed. RESULTS Hyperglycemia over 126 mg/dL (fasting) or 200 g/dL (postprandial) occurred in 42.1% (8/19) and 16.7% (1/6) of KT and LT patients, respectively, during this early period after transplantation, except for patients with preexisting diabetes (5 KT, 1 LT). The average mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE) and mean absolute glucose (MAG) levels were 91.18 ± 26.51 vs. 65.66 ± 22.55 (P < 0.05) and 24.62 ± 7.78 vs. 18.18 ± 7.07 (P < 0.05) in KT vs. LT patients, respectively, in patients without preexisting DM or PTDM patients who showed normal glucose levels. Average increase from the lowest level to the peak glucose value was higher in KT patients than LT patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions. The transplanted organ also needs to be considered as an important factor affecting glucose control and the occurrence of more severe glucose excursions in patients who receive transplantation although immunosuppression agents are well-known important factors; however, our study was limited to the early posttransplantation period. Further studies involving CGM follow-up at regular intervals based on the time since transplantation are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the association between interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL-2Ra) and new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) among renal transplant recipients (RTRs). METHODS Between January 1993 and March 2014, 915 patients underwent renal transplantation at Zhongshan Hospital. In all, 557 RTRs were included in the present retrospective cohort study. The incidence of NODAT in this cohort was determined and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for NODAT and to show the association between IL-2Ra use and NODAT development among RTRs. The cumulative incidence of NODAT was compared between groups treated with or without IL-2Ra. RESULTS The mean ±SD postoperative follow-up was 5.08 ±3.17 years. The incidence of NODAT at the end of follow-up was 20.3%. After adjusting for potential confounders in the multivariate logistic regression (i.e. age, sex, body mass index, history of smoking, family history of diabetes, duration of dialysis, type of dialysis, donor type, recovery of graft function, acute rejection, hepatitis B or C or cytomegalovirus infection, fasting plasma glucose levels before and 1 week after transplantation, preoperative total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, daily dose of glucocorticoid, immunosuppressive regimen type, and immunosuppressant concentration after transplantation), IL-2Ra use was found to be related to a reduced incidence of NODAT. CONCLUSIONS Use of IL-2Ra is associated with protection against the development of NODAT in RTRs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anemia has been reported to be associated with diabetes, but the association between new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) and anemia has not been reported. METHODS Patients who underwent kidney transplantation and did not have diabetes prior to transplantation were included in this study. Hemoglobin levels and the prevalence of anemia (hemoglobin <12 g/dL in females and <13 g/dL in males) were evaluated at three time points (prior to transplantation, 6 months following transplantation or 1 month before the development of NODAT, 2 years following transplantation, or following the development of NODAT) and were compared between those who developed NODAT and those who did not. Variables associated with the development of anemia were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 266 kidney transplant recipients were included, of which 71 (27%) developed NODAT during the time of the follow-up. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and the prevalence of anemia were similar in those with and without NODAT at all three time points evaluated. Ferritin levels, prior to transplantation and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) posttransplantation post-NODAT development, were slightly but significantly lower in those with NODAT, although both were within the normal range. CONCLUSIONS Pretransplantation ferritin levels and posttransplantation post-NODAT development MCV are inversely associated with the development of NODAT in kidney transplants.

Abstract
Treating hyperglycemia in previously non-diabetic individuals with exogenous insulin immediately after kidney transplantation reduced the odds of developing Posttransplantation Diabetes Mellitus (PTDM) in our previous proof-of-concept clinical trial. We hypothesized that insulin-pump therapy with maximal insulin dosage during the afternoon would improve glycemic control compared to basal insulin and standard-of-care. In a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial testing insulin isophane for PTDM prevention, we added a third study arm applying continuous subcutaneous insulin lispro infusion (CSII) treatment. CSII was initiated in 24 patients aged 55±12 years, without diabetes history, receiving tacrolimus. The mean daily insulin lispro dose was 9.2±5.2 IU. 2.3±1.1% of the total insulin dose were administered between 00:00 and 6:00, 19.5±11.6% between 6:00 and 12:00, 62.3±15.6% between 12:00 and 18:00 and 15.9±9.1% between 18:00 and 24:00. Additional bolus injections were necessary in five patients. Mild hypoglycemia (52–60 mg/dL) occurred in two patients. During the first post-operative week glucose control in CSII patients was overall superior compared to standard-of-care as well as once-daily insulin isophane for fasting and post-supper glucose. We present an algorithm for CSII treatment in kidney transplant recipients, demonstrating similar safety and superior short-term efficacy compared to standard-of-care and once-daily insulin isophane.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical outcomes in individuals with new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) and the optimal treatment for this complication are poorly characterized. This study was intended to better define these issues. METHODS Patients who underwent kidney transplantation and did not have diabetes prior to transplantation were included in the study. Clinical outcomes were compared between those who developed NODAT and those who did not. In those who developed NODAT, oral therapy was compared with insulin based therapy. RESULTS A total of 266 kidney transplant recipients were included, of which 71 (27%) developed NODAT during the time of the follow-up. Using Cox multivariate analysis adjusted for age and gender, hazard ratio for overall mortality among patients with NODAT versus those without NODAT was 2.69 (95% CI 1.04-7.01). Among patients who developed NODAT, 29 patients (40%) were treated with an insulin-based regimen. At the end of follow-up, no difference was found in mean HbA1c, and therapy regimen was not associated with greater mortality. CONCLUSIONS New onset diabetes in kidney transplanted patients is associated with increased mortality compared with kidney transplanted patients without NODAT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) impacts patient and allograft survival after kidney transplantation. Prediabetes, which is an independent risk factor for PTDM, is modifiable also in a post-transplant setting. Understanding the risks and dynamics of impaired glucose metabolism after transplantation is a key component for targeted intervention. METHODS A retrospective chart analysis of all adult non-diabetic renal allograft recipients (n=251, 2007-2014) was performed. Longitudinal follow-up included fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c, as well as data on allograft function and immunosuppression at consecutive time points (months 3-6 to >5 years post transplantation). RESULTS Throughout follow-up, median prevalence of prediabetes and PTDM was 53.3 [52.4-55.7]% and 15.4 [15.0-16.5]%, respectively. Continuously high fluxes between states of glucose metabolism, with individual patients' state deteriorating or improving over time, resulted in a high number of incident patients even long after transplantation. The greatest number of patients shifted between normal glucose tolerance and prediabetes, followed by those between prediabetes and PTDM. CONCLUSION Prediabetes and PTDM are highly prevalent after kidney transplantation and incidences remain relevant throughout follow-up. Patient fluxes into and out of the prediabetic state show that glucose metabolism is highly dynamic after transplantation. This provides a continuous opportunity for intervention in an aim to reduce diabetes-associated complications.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus occurs in 30-50% of cases during the first year post-renal transplantation. It is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Risk factors include age and specific immunosuppression regimens. At the same time, renal transplantation is increasingly indicated in elderly (aged >65 years) patients as this proportion of older patients in the prevalent dialysis population has increased. The immune system and β cells undergo senescence and this impacts on the risk for developing post-transplant diabetes and our ability to prevent such development. It may, however, be possible to identify patients at risk of developing post-transplant diabetes, enabling treatment protocols that prevent or reduce the impact of post-transplant diabetes. Much work remains to be completed in this area and is facilitated by the growing base of knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of post-transplant diabetes. Should post-transplant diabetes develop, there are a range of treatment options available. There is increasing interest in using newer agents, although their safety and efficacy in transplant recipients remains to be conclusively established.

Abstract
Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus is defined as diabetes that is diagnosed in grafted patients. It affects 20 to 30 % of kidney transplant recipients, with a high incidence in the first year. The increasing age at transplantation and the rising incidence of obesity may increase its prevalence in the next years. Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus is associated with poor outcomes, such as mortality, cardiovascular events or graft dysfunction. Its occurrence is mainly related to immunosuppressive agents, affecting both insulin secretion and sensibility. Immunosuppressants may be iatrogenic, and as such, induce an early and transient diabetes. They may also precociously determine a permanent diabetes, acting here as a promoting factor in patients proned to the development of type 2 diabetes. Lastly, they may behave, far from transplantation, as an additional risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The screening, management and prognosis of these different subtypes of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus will be different.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of prediabetes in long-term deceased-donor renal transplant recipients regarding graft survival, graft function, and evolution of new-onset diabetes after transplant compared with a control group of graft recipients with normal glucose tolerance test results. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a follow-up trial of 187 deceased-donor renal transplant recipients. Based on oral glucose tolerance test results, the cohort was divided into groups A and B, comprising individuals with normal glucose metabolism (n = 130, 69.9%) and individuals with prediabetes (n = 56, 30.1%). Data are shown as means ± standard errors. RESULTS Both groups showed similar total transplant survival (116.8 ± 5.4 vs 114.5 ± 7.4 mo; P = .742) and transplant survival measured since oral glucose tolerance test (58.5 ± 1.4 vs 59.5 ± 1.9 mo; P = .990, Mantel-Cox P = .943). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed no association of prediabetes with graft loss. Transplant function changes were similar between cohorts (-3 ± 1 vs -5 ± 2 mL/min/1.73 m2 body surface area, using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula; P = .538). At 5-year follow-up, recipients with prediabetes had higher hemoglobin A1c than controls (5.99% ± 0.10% vs 5.67% ± 0.04%; P = .002). Prediabetes was associated with a 4.5-fold increased hazard of new-onset diabetes after transplant (P = .021). CONCLUSIONS Prediabetes was associated with a 4.5-fold higher hazard ratio for new-onset diabetes after transplant but not with reduced graft function or survival.

Abstract
Background Dysglycemia (encompassing impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus) arising after renal transplantation is common and confers a significant cardiovascular mortality risk. Nonetheless, the pathophysiology of posttransplant dysglycemia is not well described. The aim of this study was to prospectively and comprehensively assess glucose handling in renal transplant recipients from before to 12 months after transplantation to determine the underpinning pathophysiology. Materials and Methods Intravenous and oral glucose tolerance testing was conducted before and at 3 and 12 months posttransplantation. An intravenous glucose tolerance test was also performed on day 7 posttransplantation. We followed up 16 transplant recipients for 3 months and 14 recipients for 12 months. Insulin secretion, resistance and a disposition index (DI (IV)), a measure of β cell responsiveness in the context of prevailing insulin resistance, were also determined. Results At 12 months, 50% of renal transplant recipients had dysglycemia. Dysglycemia was associated with a dramatic fall in DI (IV) and this loss in β cell function was evident as early as 3 months posttransplantation (23.5 pretransplant; 6.4 at 3 months and 12.2 at 12 months posttransplant). Differences in the β cell response to oral glucose challenge were evident pretransplant in those destined to develop dysglycemia posttransplant (2-hour blood glucose level 5.6 mmol/L versus 6.8 mmol/L; P < 0.01). Conclusions Dysglycemia after renal transplantation is common, and the loss of insulin secretion is a major contributor. Subclinical differences in glucose handling are evident pretransplant in those destined to develop dysglycemia potentially heralding a susceptible β cell which under the stressors associated with transplantation fails.

Abstract
With increasing success in overcoming the immunological and infectious challenges accompanying solid organ transplantation, susceptibility to post-transplant diabetes and cardiovascular disease has assumed increasing importance. Although some guidance is available from diabetes-related literature pertaining to the general population, some aspects are unique to solid organ allograft recipients. Both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction are generally agreed to contribute to development and manifestation of post-transplant diabetes, but controversy continues about which is most important and to what extent post-transplant diabetes is a distinct entity or simply a variant of type 2 diabetes with transplant-specific components. The optimum method and timing for detection and diagnosis of post-transplant diabetes remains an area of uncertainty. However, the greatest needs are to: address the absence of contemporary data for incidence and clinical outcomes associated with post-transplant diabetes; establish the role of glycaemic control; and assess the role of new diabetic therapies in prevention and management of post-transplant diabetes. We place the present knowledge base in the context of other advances in transplantation, challenge some existing ideas, and examine the potential role of emerging diabetes therapies. In highlighting existing deficiencies, we hope to provide direction for future research that will ultimately reduce incidence and improve management of post-transplant diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Posttransplantation diabetes (PTDM) is a common occurrence after solid-organ transplantation and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. There is a limited number of studies addressing strategies for hyperglycemia management in this population, with a few articles emerging recently. METHODS We performed a PubMed search of studies published in English addressing hyperglycemia management of PTDM/new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT). Relevant cited articles were also retrieved. RESULTS Most of the 25 publications eligible for review were retrospective studies. Insulin therapy during the early posttransplantation period showed promise in preventing PTDM development. Thiazolidinediones have been mostly shown to exert glycemic control in retrospective studies, at the expense of weight gain and fluid retention. Evidence with metformin, sulfonylureas, and meglitinides is very limited. Incretins have shown promising results in small prospective studies using sitagliptin, linaglitpin, and vildagliptin and a case series using liraglutide. CONCLUSION Prospective randomized studies assessing the management of hyperglycemia in PTDM are urgently needed. In the meantime, clinicians need to be aware of the high risk of PTDM and associated complications and current concepts in management.

Abstract
New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is major complication following renal transplantation. It commonly develops within 3-6 mo post-transplantation. The development of NODAT is associated with significant increase in risk of major cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death. Other dysglycemic states, such as impaired glucose tolerance are also associated with increasing risk of cardiovascular events. The pathogenesis of these dysglycemic states is complex. Older recipient age is a consistent major risk factor and the impact of calcineurin inhibitors and glucocorticoids has been well described. Glucocorticoids likely cause insulin resistance and calcineurin inhibitors likely cause β-cell toxicity. The impact of transplantation in incretin hormones remains to be clarified. The oral glucose tolerance test remains the best diagnostic test but other tests may be validated as screening tests. Possibly, NODAT can be prevented by administering insulin early in patients identified as high risk for NODAT. Once NODAT has been diagnosed altering immunosuppression may be acceptable, but creates the difficulty of balancing immunological with metabolic risk. With regard to hypoglycemic use, metformin may be the best option. Further research is needed to better understand the pathogenesis, identify high risk patients and to improve management options given the significant increased risk of major cardiovascular events and death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is usually detected 2 to 3 months after transplantation by fasting plasma glucose (fPG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (≥ 126 mg/dL) and/or 2 hr post-challenge plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥ 200 mg/dL) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Recently, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 6.5% or higher (≥ 47.5 mmol/mol) has been proposed as an alternative diagnostic criterion (the HbA1c criterion). We aimed to assess the sensitivity of applying the HbA1c criterion alone or in combination with a single measurement of fPG of 7.0 mmol/L or higher (≥ 126 mg/dL) at 10 weeks after transplantation as screening tests for the diagnosis of PTDM. METHODS From 1999 to 2011, measurements of fPG, HbA1c, and OGTT were performed in 1,619 nondiabetic renal transplant recipients. RESULTS The HbA1c criterion detected 38.0% of patients with PTDM diagnosed with the standard diagnostic criteria. The specificity was 86.3%. When the HbA1c threshold value was lowered to 6.2% (44.3 mmol/mol), sensitivity increased to 57.8% with a corresponding reduced specificity of 80.4%. A combination of the HbA1c criterion and fPG of 7.0 mmol/L or higher (126 mg/dL) at 10 weeks after transplantation improved diagnostic precision with a sensitivity of 77.7% and a specificity of 96.1%. CONCLUSION The proposed diagnostic HbA1c criterion failed to detect most cases of PTDM, and one of four cases of PTDM was detected by OGTT alone. This indicates that the HbA1c threshold value likely needs to be lowered for renal transplant recipients and supports continued use of OGTT as a diagnostic tool for detection of PTDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We studied new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) in liver transplantation with grafts donated after brain death (DBD) or circulatory death (DCD), focusing on the early post-transplant period. METHODS A total of 430 non-diabetic primary liver transplant recipients [DCD, n = 90 (21%)] were followed up for 30 months (range 5-69). NODAT was defined as the composite endpoint of one of following: (i) Two non-fasting plasma glucose levels > 11.1 mmol/L ≥ 30 days apart, (ii) oral hypoglycaemic drugs ≥ 30 days consecutively (iii) insulin therapy ≥ 30 days and (iv) HbA1c ≥ 48 mmol/L. Resolution of NODAT was defined as cessation of treatment or hyperglycaemia. RESULTS Total of 81/430 (19%) patients developed NODAT. Incidence and resolution of NODAT over time showed significantly different patterns between DCD and DBD liver graft recipients; early occurrence, high peak incidence and early resolution were seen in DCD. In multivariate logistic regression including age, ethnicity, HCV, tacrolimus level and pulsed steroids, only DCD was independently associated with NODAT at day 15 post-transplant (OR 6.5, 95% CI 2.3-18.4, P < 0.001), whereas age and pulsed steroids were significant factors between 30-90 days. Combined in multivariate Cox regression model for NODAT-free survival, graft type, age and pulsed steroids were each independent predictor for decreased NODAT-free survival in the first 90-postoperative days. CONCLUSION Early peak of NODAT in DCD graft recipients is a novel finding, occurring independently from known risk factors. Donor warm ischaemia and impact on insulin sensitivity should be further studied and could perhaps be associated with graft function.

Abstract
Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a major complication after renal transplantation due to its negative impact on patient and graft survival, and affects up to 40% of renal transplant recipients. The generation of evidence regarding its optimal treatment is now progressing with some emphasis on early postoperative insulin treatment that targets β-cell failure. This therapy seems to benefit renal transplant patients but contrasts with previous PTDM guidelines that were following treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM): oral antidiabetics first, insulin last. Similarly, in the current PTDM consensus recommendations, diagnostic procedures are in accordance with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations for diagnosis of DM. PTDM and type 2 DM, however, are distinct disease entities with different pathophysiological backgrounds. This review will discuss the significance of the standard diagnostic criteria for DM in patients after renal transplantation without prior DM. In particular, the role of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) will be reviewed. In addition, the potential role of other glycated proteins and continuous glucose monitoring will be covered, although these parameters are not yet part of the consensus recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of glycated hemoglobin (A1C) in the screening and diagnosis of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is still not entirely understood. We evaluated the use of A1C test in renal transplant recipients at four months after transplantation. METHODS A total of 122 out of 274 patients without previous diabetes that underwent kidney transplantation were enrolled. ROC curve was used to analyze the performance of A1C to diagnose PTDM considering OGTT as the reference standard. RESULTS OGTT identified 32 (26.2%) patients with PTDM, whereas A1C≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) identified only 16 patients. A1C showed moderate accuracy to detect PTDM in the ROC curve [AUC 0.832 (95% CI 0.740-0.924, p<0.001)]. A1C of 5.8% (40 mmol/mol) was the equilibrium point (sensitivity 75% and specificity 72.2%) and A1C≥6.2% (44 mmol/mol) showed high specificity of 93.3%. CONCLUSIONS A1C≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) is not enough to be used alone in the diagnosis of PTDM. The combined use of A1C cut-off points of ≤5.8% (40 mmol/mol) and ≥6.2% (44 mmol/mol) would reduce the number of OGTT by 85%. The use of an algorithm with A1C test in combination with FPG and/or 2h-PG proved to be the most efficient strategy to diagnose or rule out PTDM.

Abstract
This article highlights the difficulties in creating a definitive classification of diabetes mellitus in the absence of a complete understanding of the pathogenesis of the major forms. This brief review shows the evolving nature of the classification of diabetes mellitus. No classification scheme is ideal, and all have some overlap and inconsistencies. The only diabetes in which it is possible to accurately diagnose by DNA sequencing, monogenic diabetes, remains undiagnosed in more than 90% of the individuals who have diabetes caused by one of the known gene mutations. The point of classification, or taxonomy, of disease, should be to give insight into both pathogenesis and treatment. It remains a source of frustration that all schemes of diabetes mellitus continue to fall short of this goal.

Abstract
Renal transplantation has important benefits in people with end-stage renal disease, with improvements in mortality, morbidity and quality of life. Whilst significant advances in transplantation techniques and immunosuppressive regimens have led to improvements in short-term outcomes, longer-term outcomes have not improved dramatically. New-onset diabetes after transplantation appears to be a major factor in morbidity and cardiovascular mortality in renal transplant recipients. The diagnosis of new-onset diabetes after renal transplantation has been hampered by a lack of clarity over diagnostic tests in early studies, although the use of the WHO criteria is now generally accepted. HbA1c may be useful diagnostically, but should probably be avoided in the first 3 months after transplantation. The pathogenesis of new-onset diabetes after renal transplantation is likely to be related to standard pathogenic factors in Type 2 diabetes (e.g. insulin resistance, β-cell failure, inflammation and genetic factors) as well as other factors, such as hepatitis C infection, and could be exacerbated by the use of immunosuppression (glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors). Pre-transplant risk scores may help identify those people at risk of new-onset diabetes after renal transplantation. There are no randomized trials of treatment of new-onset diabetes after renal transplantation to determine whether intensive glucose control has an impact on cardiovascular or renal morbidity, therefore, treatment is guided by guidelines used in non-transplant diabetes. Many areas of uncertainty in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of new-onset diabetes after renal transplantation require further research.

Abstract
A consensus meeting was held in Vienna on September 8-9, 2013, to discuss diagnostic and therapeutic challenges surrounding development of diabetes mellitus after transplantation. The International Expert Panel comprised 24 transplant nephrologists, surgeons, diabetologists and clinical scientists, which met with the aim to review previous guidelines in light of emerging clinical data and research. Recommendations from the consensus discussions are provided in this article. Although the meeting was kidney-centric, reflecting the expertise present, these recommendations are likely to be relevant to other solid organ transplant recipients. Our recommendations include: terminology revision from new-onset diabetes after transplantation to posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM), exclusion of transient posttransplant hyperglycemia from PTDM diagnosis, expansion of screening strategies (incorporating postprandial glucose and HbA1c) and opinion-based guidance regarding pharmacological therapy in light of recent clinical evidence. Future research in the field was discussed with the aim of establishing collaborative working groups to address unresolved questions. These recommendations are opinion-based and intended to serve as a template for planned guidelines update, based on systematic and graded literature review, on the diagnosis and management of PTDM.

Abstract
Post-transplantation hypomagnesemia is common and predicts diabetes. Magnesium improves glycemic control in diabetics and insulin sensitivity in insulin resistant subjects. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of oral magnesium for improving glycemic control and insulin sensitivity at 3 months post-transplantation. We conducted a single-center, open-label, randomized parallel group study. We included adults with serum magnesium <1.7 mg/dl within 2 weeks after kidney transplantation. We randomized participants to 450 mg magnesium oxide up to three times daily or no treatment. The primary endpoint was the mean difference in fasting glycemia. Secondary endpoints were the mean difference in area under the curve (AUC) of glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test and insulin resistance measured by Homeostasis Model of Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Analyses were on intention-to-treat basis. In patients randomized to magnesium oxide (N = 27) versus no treatment (N = 27), fasting glycemia on average was 11.5 mg/dl lower (95% CI 1.7 to 21.3; P = 0.02). There was no difference between the two groups neither for 2 h AUC, where the mean value was 1164 mg/dl/min (95% CI -1884 to 4284; P = 0.45) lower in the treatment group nor for HOMA-IR. Magnesium supplements modestly improved fasting glycemia without effect on insulin resistance. Higher baseline glycemia among patients in the control group may have driven the positive outcome (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01889576).

Abstract
New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a serious complication after kidney transplantation, but therapeutic strategies remain underexplored. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors selectively foster insulin secretion without inducing hypoglycemia, which might be advantageous in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with NODAT. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II trial to assess safety and efficacy of the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin. Intraindividual differences in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived 2-h plasma glucose (2HPG) from baseline to 3 months after treatment served as primary endpoint. Among secondary outcomes, we evaluated HbA1c, metabolic and safety parameters, as well as OGTTs at 1 month after drug discontinuation. Of 509 stable KTRs who were screened in our outpatient clinic, 63 (12.4%) had 2HPG ≥ 200 mg/dL, 33 of them were randomized and 32 completed the study. In the vildagliptin group 2HPG and HbA1c were profoundly reduced in comparison to placebo (vildagliptin: 2HPG = 182.7 mg/dL, HbA1c = 6.1%; placebo: 2HPG = 231.2 mg/dL, HbA1c = 6.5%; both p ≤ 0.05), and statistical significance was achieved for the primary endpoint (vildagliptin: 2HPG-difference -73.7 ± 51.3 mg/dL; placebo: -5.7 ± 41.4 mg/dL; p < 0.01). Adverse events were generally mild and occurred at similar rates in both groups. In conclusion, DPP-4 inhibition in KTRs with overt NODAT was safe and efficient, providing a novel treatment alternative for this specific form of diabetes.
