Z Kaposztas, E Gyurus, BD Kahan - Transplantation proceedings, 2011 - Elsevier
Objective New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a multifactorial, complex
metabolic disorder associated with impaired long-term graft function, reduced recipient
survival, and increased risks of cardiovascular disease and infectious complications. The
impact of NODAT is generally underestimated partly due to the inconsistent criteria that have
been previously used for its diagnosis and to the generally short observation periods. The
aim of this article was to review the recent literature on NODAT and to highlight the novel …
