Abstract
New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is frequently encountered after kidney transplant. In the present study, we retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of linagliptin monotherapy in 21 renal transplant recipients in a real world setting. We found linagliptin monotherapy is effective for glycemic control in NODAT, even on glucocorticoids and standard dose of tacrolimus. There was no alteration of tacrolimus drug levels or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and minimal side effects, including weight gain and hypoglycemia. Well-designed, powered randomized controlled of antiglycemic agents in NODAT are needed.
