Abstract

The development of diabetes after solid organ transplantation is a known complication, and many published studies have examined prevalence rates and risk factors for specific categories of transplant recipients. However, fewer articles have compared rates of posttransplant diabetes and risk factors among different types of transplant recipients. This article provides an overview of the literature on this subject and compares similarities and differences related to posttransplant diabetes for different categories of organ transplant recipients. Awareness of the various risk factors for different organ transplant recipients will enhance transplant clinicians' knowledge related to this complication so that appropriate monitoring can be started.
