Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication after liver transplantation. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a microbiota-derived metabolite, has been linked to insulin resistance, but epidemiological findings on type 2 diabetes rema...
Background: Insulin resistance plays an important role in the development of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Current methods for the direct determination of insulin resistance are complicated and...
Background and Objectives: It has been confirmed that adiponectin/leptin (A/L) ratio correlates better with cardiometabolic risk factors than hormone levels alone. The aim of our study was to determine the risk of developing post-transplant diabetes...
Kidney transplant recipients are a unique subgroup of chronic kidney disease patients due to their single functioning kidney, immunosuppressive agent usage, and long-term complications related to transplantation. Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PT...
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of glucose metabolism abnormalities and their impact on long-term clinical outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTxps). A retrospective analysis of 832 KTxps (2004–2020) was p...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) arising de novo after transplant is a common complication, sharing many features with type 2 DM but also specific causes, such as administration of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. Although post-transplant DM (PTDM) is gen...
Background: Despite the lack of formal indication for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), their use in clinical practice is gr...
(1) Background: Little is currently known about the health impacts of daily-life moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in relation to the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and the long-term survival of renal transplant r...
Kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage renal failure but is associated with complications, including post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). It affects the quality of life and survival of patients and the transplanted...
Background/Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2Is) have significantly improved the management of diabetes mellitus (DM). In the general population, these drugs have add...
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common complication after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pre-existing diabetes mellitus and post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) on the occurrence of p...
The combination of insulin resistance and β-cells dysfunction leads to the onset of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This process can last for decades, as β-cells are able to compensate the demand for insulin and maintain normoglycemia. Understanding...
