#2502 THE FREQUENCY AND RISK FACTORS OF NODAT AND ELECTROLYTE DISORDERS IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PATIENTS

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims The purpose of the study is to investigate at the incidence and risk factors for post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in non-diabetic kidney transplant patients (KTrs). Method The study included 120 KTRs who did not have diabetes in the pretransplant period. The diagnosis of PTDM was made according to the 2003 ADA DM diagnostic criteria. The relationship between PTDM and clinical and laboratory data on the 0th, 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th months was investigated. Results The mean age of the patients was 33.3±11.5 years, 65% (78) of them were male. PTDM was developed in 29.1% (35) and 80% of PTDM at first 3 months. The risk factors for PTDM were found to be older (4.4%), family history of diabetes mellitus (5.24 times), beta-blocker use (2.55 times). KTRs with and without PTDM; Pretransplant dialysis type (Hemodialysis (P=0.822) and Peritoneal dialysis (P = .583)), living donor (101/84.2%)/cadaveric donor (19/ 15.8%), donor age and gender were similar. Serum magnesium and potassium were different only in the first month between the groups with and without PTDM (P = .019 and 0.008 respectively). The negative effect of PTDM on GFR was not observed in the 2-year follow-up. Conclusion It can be predicted that diabetes mellitus may develop with a family history of diabetes, advanced age and the use of beta-blockers. The risk of developing PTDM is higher in the first 3 months and hypomagnesemia in the first month may contribute to diabetes development.
