Resumo

Post-transplant diabetes mellitus is a major complication after transplantation and is associated with reduced allograft and patient survival.(1) It is hard to quantify the incidence of PTDM because of lack of standard definition and PTDM can occur many years after transplantation. A consensus conference in 2013, defined PTDM as newly diagnosed persistent diabetes mellitus among clinically stable posttransplant patients.
