As many as 10% to 20% of patients undergoing kidney transplantation develop post-transplant diabetes mellitus, which is associated with increased mortality. Even borderline changes in glucose metabolism, so-called prediabetes, may involve a similar risk. A recent study by Porrini et al. showed for the first time that such changes in glucose metabolism are in fact associated with future cardiovascular disease and death in kidney-transplanted patients. This commentary discusses the relevance and clinical implications of these new findings.

肾脏移植后的前驱糖尿病是您担心的原因吗？

多达10％至20％的接受肾脏移植的患者会出现移植后糖尿病，这与死亡率增加有关。甚至葡萄糖代谢的临界变化，即所谓的糖尿病前期，也可能涉及类似的风险。Porrini等人的最新研究。首次表明，葡萄糖代谢的这种变化实际上与将来的心血管疾病和肾移植患者的死亡有关。这篇评论讨论了这些新发现的相关性和临床意义。
