Optimum Immunosuppression in Renal Transplant Recipients.New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation

Summary

New onset diabetes after renal transplantation (NODAT) is a common and severe complication negatively influencing graft and patient survival. Cyclosporine (CsA) and Tacrolimus are the basis of modern immunosuppression. Tacrolimus is superior to CsA in terms of acute rejection and graft function. However, Tacrolimus increases 2 times the risk of NODAT as compared to CsA.
