Chen S, Bowen DG, Liu K, Vidot H. Hypomagnesaemia, an independent risk factor for the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus in liver and renal transplant recipients? A systematic review. J Hum Nutr Diet 2024. [PMID: 39073157 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.13354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is common after solid organ transplantation. In the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the association between hypomagnesaemia and the development of PTDM. This systematic review aimed to investigate the current knowledge regarding the association between hypomagnesaemia and PTDM in adult liver and renal transplant recipients. METHODS A literature search of five databases, Medline, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus and Google Scholar, as well as article reference lists, was performed. Eligible studies that focused on adult liver and renal transplant recipients without pretransplantation hyperglycaemia or diabetes were included. Other eligibility criteria included quantitative studies which reported magnesium concentrations, studies with at least 6 months of follow-up, and studies published in English. The Newcastle-Ottawa Assessment Tool was used for the quality assessment. RESULTS In total, 12 studies were included in the final analysis. Eleven focused on renal transplantation and one on liver transplantation. All studies were medium to high quality with eight out of 12 achieving the highest rating of nine. Eight studies found a negative association between either pretransplant or early post-transplant serum magnesium concentration and the risk of PTDM, three studies found no association between these two variables, and one study found a positive association between the magnesium concentration at 8 weeks after transplantation and glycosylated haemoglobin A1C. CONCLUSIONS Further large-scale prospective studies with at least 6 months of follow-up are needed to confirm these findings, particularly in liver transplantation, to further clarify and explore the relationship between hypomagnesaemia and PTDM.

Abstract
The development of diabetes mellitus (DM) after living donor kidney transplantation (KT) is a risk factor for worsening transplant kidney function, cardiac disease, and cerebrovascular disease, which may affect prognosis after KT. At our institution, all patients' glucose tolerance is evaluated perioperatively by oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) at pre-KT, and 3, 6, and 12 month (mo.) after KT. We analyzed the insulinogenic index (ISI) and homeostasis model assessment beta cell (HOMA-β) based on the immunoreactive insulin (IRI) levels to determine how glucose tolerance changed after KT in 214 patients who had not been diagnosed with DM before KT. In addition, we analyzed the body mass index (BMI) which may also influence glucose tolerance after KT. The concentration of tacrolimus (TAC) in blood was also measured as the area under the curve (AUC) to examine its effects at each sampling point. The preoperative-OGTTs showed that DM was newly diagnosed in 22 of 214 patients (10.3%) who had not been given a diagnosis of DM by the pre-KT fasting blood sugar (FBS) tests. The glucose tolerance was improved in 15 of 22 DM patients at 12 mo. after KT. ISI and IRI deteriorated only at 3 mo. after KT but improved over time. There was a trend of an inverse correlation between HOMA-β and TAC-AUC. We also found inverse correlations between IRI and an increase in BMI from 3 to 12 mo. after KT. Early corticosteroid withdrawal or the steroid minimization protocol with tacrolimus to maintain a low level of diabetogenic tacrolimus and BMI decrease after KT used by our hospital individualizes lifestyle interventions for each patient might contribute to an improvement in post-KT glucose tolerance.

Early retinal neurovascular findings in post-transplant diabetes mellitus patients without clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy. Int J Retina Vitreous 2023; 9:49. [PMID: 37612660 PMCID: PMC10463975 DOI: 10.1186/s40942-023-00487-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a specific subtype of diabetes with an uncertain impact on mortality and morbidity in post-transplant patients. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, but the long-term clinical progression in PTDM is unknown. New technologies are being used to assess pre-clinical signs of retinal changes, such as swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography. The aim of this study was to detect pre-clinical structural and vascular changes in the retina using swept-source-OCT and OCT-angiography in patients with PTDM. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, post-kidney transplant patients were divided into PTDM and non-PTDM (control) groups. Both eyes of eligible PTDM patients and controls were included in this study. Inner retinal layer thickness was measured with swept-source-OCT. Retinal capillary density and the foveal avascular zone were measured with OCT-angiography. RESULTS In the PTDM group, reduced thickness was found in the inferior ganglion cell layer plus inner plexiform layer (95% CI -8.76 to -0.68; p = 0.022) and the temporal inferior segment (95% CI -10.23 to -0.76; p = 0.024) of the inner retina, as well as in the retinal nerve fiber layer in the temporal (95% CI -34.78 to -9.28 p = 0.001) and temporal inferior segments (95% CI -33.26 to -5.03 p = 0.008). No significant differences were found in the vascular capillary plexus between groups at all depths, segments, or foveal avascular zone (p = 0.088). CONCLUSIONS According to OCT-angiography, PTDM patients had reduced inner neurosensory retinal layers but no significant change in vascular density, which suggests that early neuroretinal degeneration might occur prior to vascular changes secondary to PTDM. Prospective studies could help elucidate the clinical course of retinal neuropathy and microvascular pathology in PTDM and provide a better understanding of PTDM complications.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication that occurs in kidney transplant patients, increasing the risk of infection, cardiovascular disease and loss of graft function. Currently, factors that increase the risk of this complication are being sought, among them polymorphisms in genes that regulate carbohydrate metabolism and influence pancreatic β-cell function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of selected polymorphisms of genes affecting carbohydrate metabolism, such as CDKAL1 rs10946398, GCK rs1799884, GCKR rs780094 and DGKB/TMEM195 rs2191349, with the development of post-transplant diabetes in kidney transplant patients. This study included 201 Caucasian patients after kidney transplantation treated with tacrolimus. An association was observed between the CDKAL1 rs10946398 gene polymorphism and PTDM. Among patients with PTDM, there was an increased prevalence of the CC genotype in the PTDM group compared to the group without PTDM. The chance of PTDM in those with the CC genotype was 2.60 times higher compared to those with the AC + AA genotypes (CC vs. AC + AA OR (95% CI): 2.60 (1.02-6.61), p = 0.040). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age and the CC genotype (rare homozygote) of CDKAL1 rs10946398 were risk factors for the development of PTDM at 1 year after transplantation. There was no statistically significant association between GCK rs1799884, GCKR rs780094 or DGKB/TMEM195 rs2191349 polymorphisms and the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus in kidney transplant patients. The results of this study suggest that the CDKAL1 rs10946398 CC genotype is associated with the increased risk of PTDM development in patients after kidney graft transplantation treated with tacrolimus.

Abstract
Organ transplantation is currently the most effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. Post transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a severe complication after organ transplantation that seriously affects the short-term and long-term survival of recipients. However, PTDM is often overlooked or poorly managed in its early stage. This article provides an overview of the incidence, and pathogenesis of and risk factors for PTDM, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of PTDM and improve the quality of life of recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for post- transplant diabetes mellitus, especially in patients who are taking tacrolimus. Although lipotoxicity of dyslipidemia leads to β-cell failure, the handling of lipids by β cells is a mystery in molecular endocrinology. Likewise, lipid droplet homeostasis is appreciated as a key component of lipid metabolism in cells like hepatocytes, but its role in β cells remains to be elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS To evaluate the morphologic changes in β cells with special focus on lipid droplets, we evaluated electron micrographs under metabolic stress conditions of glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity, and glucolipotoxicity in isolated rat insulinoma INS-1E β cells. Cells were treated with palmitic acid (0.5 mM), glucose (33 mM), or both for 16 hours, after which morphologic changes were observed with an electron microscope. RESULTS Many lipid droplets were observed in the cytoplasm of healthy β cells in the control group (no treatment). Lipid droplets were also visible in the cytosol, and the cytoplasm was rich in organelles and insulin vesicles under high glucose stimulation. However, after treatment with palmitic acid, almost no lipid droplets were observed. Endocrine vesicles were also depleted, with severe morphologic disruption of other organelles. Under glucolipotoxic conditions, β cells showed a decreased number of lipid droplets and insulin vesicles compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS Lipid droplet dynamics seemed important in the homeostasis of β-cell metabolism. In this preliminary study, healthy β cells appeared rich in lipid droplets under normal conditions. However, lipotoxicity depleted and glucolipotoxicity decreased the number of lipid droplets in β cells. Because dyslipidemia causing lipotoxicity is one of the most frequent metabolic problems in transplant patients and increases risk of posttransplant diabetes mellitus, understanding the mystery of lipid droplets in β cells and the pathophysiology of diabetes in transplant patients is important, especially for those taking tacrolimus.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12051174. [PMID: 35626329 PMCID: PMC9139921 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12051174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives: For patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the best replacement therapy is renal transplant (RTx) to ensure life with good quality. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder and a common cause of ESRD. Different from ESRD of other causes, ADPKD patients need careful pre-RTx evaluations like detecting the presence of intracranial aneurisms, cardiac manifestations, and complications of liver and renal cysts. Materials: We retrieved a total of 1327 RTx patients receiving 1382 times RTx (two recipients with three times, 48 recipients with two times) over the last 35 years. Only 41 of these patients were diagnosed with ADPKD. Results: At the first RTx, patients’ ages were 42.9 ± 12.6 (mean ± SD) years. Ages of the ADPKD group (52.5 ± 10.1 years) were older than the non-ADPKD group (42.7 ± 12.7 years, p = 0.001). We found more cell mediated and antibody mediated rejection (29.3% vs. 26.0%, and 22.0% vs. 7.0%; both p < 0.001), new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) (21, 51.2% vs. 326, 25.3%; p = 0.005), and worse graft survival (p < 0.001) in the ADPKD group, and with the development of more malignancies (18; 43.9% vs. 360; 28.0%; p = 0.041). The long-term patient survivals were poorer in the ADPKD group (38.9% vs. 70.3%; p = 0.018). ADPKD was found as an independent risk factor for long-term patient survival (HR = 2.64, 95% CI 1.03−6.76, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Patients with ADPKD-related ESRD developed more NODAT, and also more malignancies if not aggressively surveyed before surgery. Due to poor long-term graft and patient survivals, regular careful examinations for NODAT and malignancies, even in the absence of related symptoms and signs, are highly recommended in the follow-ups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: New-onset diabetes after kidney transplant (NODAT) is a severe metabolic complication that frequently occurs in recipients following transplantation.
AIM: The study aims to verify NODAT, compare cases and non-cases of this entity, and explore potential predictors in recipients within 1 year following kidney transplantation.
METHODS: The research is a retrospective study of 90 renal transplant recipients (n = 90). Demographic factors and clinical aspects were analyzed using non-Bayesian statistics and machine learning (ML). The clinical aspects included the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, associated viral infections (hepatitis B virus [HBV], hepatitis C virus [HCV], and cytomegalovirus [CMV]), prior kidney transplant, hemodialysis status, body mass index (BMI) at transplant time, and 3 months later, primary causes of renal failure, and post-transplant therapeutics. All individuals were on cyclosporine and prednisolone treatment.
RESULTS: The mean age was 39 (±1.5) years; recipients included 27 females (30%) and 63 males (70%). Donor type was live related (16, 17.8%) or live unrelated (74, 82.2%); 27 recipients (30%) had O+ blood group, while 70% belonged to other groups. Thirteen recipients (14.4%) were not on dialysis. Only 32 individuals (35.6%) developed NODAT. Concerning virology, confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction before transplantation, 19 recipients (21.1%) were CMV positive, 9 (10%) were HCV positive, and 2 (2.2%) had HBV.
CONCLUSIONS: In reconciliation with frequentist statistics, the dual ML model validated several predictors that either negatively (protective) or positively (harmful) influenced HbA1c level, the majority of which were significant at 95% confidence interval. Individuals who are HCV and CMV positive are predicted to develop NODAT. Further, older individuals, with blood group O+ve, prior history of hemodialysis, a relatively high BMI before the transplant, and receiving higher doses of prednisolone following the transplant are more likely to develop NODAT. The current study represents the first research from Iraq to explore NODAT predictors among kidney transplant recipients using frequentist statistics and artificial intelligence models.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate our institutional outcomes of surgical management of lower extremity (LE) wounds in the solid organ transplant recipient population. Approach: An 8-year retrospective review was conducted for all solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients with LE wounds necessitating surgical management at our tertiary limb salvage center. Outcomes of interest included wound healing, surgical treatment, progression to amputation, and amputation level. Factors contributing to amputation progression were analyzed. The article adheres to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement. Results: Sixty-four SOT recipients underwent surgical management for their LE wounds between 2010 and 2018. Median number of surgeries per patient was 5 (interquartile range = 2-8); 47 of 64 patients (73.4%) underwent amputation, and 17 of 64 patients (26.6%) underwent nonamputation surgical management. In the amputation group, the majority of primary amputations were minor (42/47, 89.4%); 24 of 42 (57.1%) patients progressed to a higher amputation level, 16 of 42 (38.1%) healed after their index procedure, and 2 of 42 (4.8%) were lost to follow-up (LTFU) after their primary minor amputation. Five of 47 (10.6%) patients undergoing amputations required primary below-knee amputations. In the nonamputation group, 15 of 17 (88.2%) healed, 1 of 17 (5.9%) expired, and 1 of 17 (5.9%) was LTFU. Innovation: To identify the outcomes of patients undergoing surgical management for LE wounds after SOT and elucidate clinical factors that impact the rate of limb salvage. Conclusions: This is the first comprehensive analysis of LE wounds in the transplant population. Our analysis indicates high rates of failed minor amputation, and frequent progression to major amputation in SOT patients. Preexisting comorbidities and immunosuppressive regimens complicate limb salvage; therefore, further research is warranted to optimize surgical LE wound management in this population.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a new acronym adopted from the consensus of international experts. Given the increasing prevalence of MAFLD in pre-transplant settings, de novo and recurrent graft steatosis/MAFLD are common in post-transplant settings. The impact of graft steatosis on long-term outcomes is unclear. The current knowledge of incidence rate, risk factors, diagnosis, long-term outcomes, and management of graft steatosis (both de novo and recurrent) is discussed in this review.

Effect of Early Steroid Withdrawal on Posttransplant Diabetes Among Kidney Transplant Recipients Differs by Recipient Age. Transplant Direct 2021; 8:e1260. [PMID: 34912947 PMCID: PMC8670588 DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000001260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background. Posttransplant diabetes (PTD), a major complication after kidney transplantation (KT), is often attributable to immunosuppression. The risk of PTD may increase with more potent steroid maintenance and older recipient age. Methods. Using United States Renal Data System data, we studied 12 488 adult first-time KT recipients (2010–2015) with no known pre-KT diabetes. We compared the risk of PTD among recipients who underwent early steroid withdrawal (ESW) versus continued steroid maintenance (CSM) using Cox regression with inverse probability weighting to adjust for confounding. We tested whether the risk of PTD resulting from ESW differed by recipient age (18–29, 30–54, and ≥55 y). Results. Of 12 488, 28.3% recipients received ESW. The incidence rate for PTD was 13 per 100 person-y and lower among recipients who received ESW (11 per 100 person-y in ESW; 14 per 100 person-y in CSM). Overall, ESW was associated with lower risk of PTD compared with CSM (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.720.790.86), but the risk differed by recipient age (Pinteraction = 0.09 for comparison between recipients aged 18–29 and those aged 30–54; Pinteraction = 0.01 for comparison between recipients aged 18–29 and those aged ≥55). ESW was associated with lower risk of PTD among recipients aged ≥55 (aHR = 0.620.710.81) and those aged 30–54 (aHR = 0.730.830.95), but not among recipients aged 18–29 (aHR = 0.811.181.72). Although recipients who received ESW had a higher risk of acute rejection across the age groups (adjusted odds ratio = 1.011.171.34), recipients with no PTD had a lower risk of mortality (aHR = 0.580.660.74). Conclusions. The beneficial association of ESW with decreased PTD was more pronounced among recipients aged ≥55, supporting an age-specific assessment of the risk-benefit balance regarding ESW.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the association between the preoperative lipid profiles and new‐onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) in Chinese kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Methods In this study, of 1140 KTRs registered between January 1993 and March 2018 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, 449 were enrolled. Clinical data, obtained through a chart review of the patient records in the medical record system, were evaluated, and NODAT was diagnosed based on the American Diabetes Association guidelines. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to determine whether the preoperative lipid profiles in KTRs were independently associated with NODAT incidence. The preoperative lipid profiles were analyzed as continuous variables and grouped into tertiles. Smooth curve fitting was used to confirm the linear associations. Results During a median follow‐up of 28.03 (interquartile range 12.00–84.23) months, 104 of the 449 (23.16%) participants developed NODAT. The multivariate model analysis, adjusted for all potential covariates, showed that increased values of the following parameters were associated with NODAT (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval): preoperative total cholesterol (TC; 1.25, 1.09–1.58, p = 0.0495), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C; 1.33, 1.02–1.75, p = 0.0352), non‐high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non‐HDL‐C; 1.41, 1.09–1.82, p = 0.0084), TC/HDL‐C (1.28, 1.06–1.54, p = 0.0109), and non‐HDL‐C/HDL‐C (1.26, 1.05–1.52, p = 0.0138). However, the association between the preoperative triglyceride, HDL‐C, or TG/HDL‐C and NODAT was not significant. Conclusions Preoperative TC, LDL‐C, non‐HDL‐C, TC/HDL‐C, and non‐HDL‐C/HDL‐C were independent risk factors for NODAT.

Risk Factors for Developing Posttransplant Diabetes After Pediatric Kidney Transplant in a Canadian Tertiary Care Children's Hospital Between 1995 and 2016. Can J Diabetes 2021; 45:481-489. [PMID: 34176612 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2021.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a serious complication in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) due to its negative impact on graft and patient survival. Although reported in 3% to 20% of pediatric KTRs, it has not been as well characterized in adults. In this study we describe incidence and risk factors associated with development of PTDM in pediatric KTRs. METHODS This work is a retrospective cohort study of nondiabetic pediatric patients, aged 6 months to 19 years, who underwent a first kidney transplant during 1995 to 2016. We estimated the cumulative incidence rate and used multivariable logistic regression to identify the diabetogenic risk factors for PTDM. RESULTS A total of 142 KTRs were included in this study. The cumulative incidence of PTDM was 31% and 14.1% in the first and second year posttransplant, respectively. Significant risk factors for PTDM in the first year after transplant included: dysglycemia in the first 8 to 30 days posttransplant (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21 to 7.53; p=0.018) and use of sirolimus in the first 30 days posttransplant (aOR, 5.33; 95% CI, 1.16 to 24.35; p=0.031). No significant association was found with typical diabetogenic factors. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of PTDM is high among pediatric KTRs. Independent risk factors associated with PTDM included meeting the criteria for dysglycemia or diabetes and sirolimus use in the first month posttransplant. Typical diabetogenic risk factors for type 2 diabetes were not associated with increased risk. This study provides valuable information for posttransplant medical care and future research.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a frequent and relevant complication after renal transplantation: it affects 20-30% of renal transplant recipients and increases the risk for cardiovascular and infectious events. Thus, understanding pathogenesis of PTDM would help limiting its consequences. In this review, we analyse novel aspects of PTDM, based on studies of the last decade, such as the clinical evolution of PTDM, early and late, the reversibility rate, diagnostic criteria, risk factors, including pre-transplant metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance (IR) and the interaction between these factors and immunosuppressive medications. Also, we discuss novel pathogenic factors, in particular the role of β-cell function in an environment of IR and common pathways between pre-existing cell damage and tacrolimus-induced toxicity. The relevant role of prediabetes in the pathogenesis of PTDM and cardiovascular disease is also addressed. Finally, current evidence on PTDM treatment is discussed.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly impacts long-term survival after liver transplantation (LT). We identified survival factors for LT recipients who had DM to inform preventive care using machine-learning analysis. We analyzed risk factors for mortality in patients from across the United States using the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). Patients had undergone LT from 1987 to 2019, with a follow-up of 6.47 years (standard deviation [SD] 5.95). Findings were validated on a cohort from the University Health Network (UHN) from 1989 to 2014 (follow-up 8.15 years [SD 5.67]). Analysis was conducted with Cox proportional hazards and gradient boosting survival. The training set included 84.67% SRTR data (n = 15,289 patients), and the test set included 15.33% SRTR patients (n = 2769) and data from UHN patients (n = 1290). We included 18,058 adults (12,108 [67.05%] men, average age 54.21 years [SD 9.98]) from the SRTR who had undergone LT and had complete data for investigated features. A total of 4634 patients had preexisting DM, and 3158 had post-LT DM. The UHN data consisted of 1290 LT recipients (910 [70.5%] men, average age 54.0 years [SD 10.4]). Increased serum creatinine and hypertension significantly impacted mortality with preexisting DM 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-1.54) and 1.20 (95% CI, 1.06-1.35) times, respectively. Sirolimus use increased mortality 1.36 times (95% CI, 1.18-1.58) in nondiabetics and 1.33 times (95% CI, 1.09-1.63) in patients with preexisting DM. A similar effect was found in post-LT DM, although it was not statistically significant (1.38 times; 95% CI, 1.07-1.77; P = 0.07). Survival predictors generally achieved a 0.60 to 0.70 area under the receiver operating characteristic for 5-year mortality. LT recipients who have DM have a higher mortality risk than those without DM. Hypertension, decreased renal function, and sirolimus for maintenance immunosuppression compound this mortality risk. These predisposing factors must be intensively treated and modified to optimize long-term survival after transplant.

Abstract
New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation (NODAT) is a serious metabolic complication. While β-cell dysfunction is considered the main contributing factor in the development of NODAT, the precise pathogenesis is not well understood. Cytokines are thought to be involved in the inflammation of islet β-cells in diabetes; however, few studies have investigated this hypothesis in NODAT. A total of 309 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) were included in this study. An association between kidney transplants, and the development of diabetes after transplant (NODAT) was investigated. Comparison was made between KTRs who develop diabetes (NODAT cases) or did not develop diabetes (control), using key cytokines, IL-6 G (− 174)C, macrophage mediator; IL-4 C (− 490)T, T helper (Th)-2 cytokine profile initiator; Th-1 cytokine profile initiator interferon-γ T (+ 874) A gene and TGF β1 C (+ 869) T gene polymorphisms were investigated. The genes were amplified using well-established polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques in our laboratory. Compared to the AA and AT genotypes of interferon gamma (IFNG), there was a strong association between the TT genotype of IFNG and NODAT kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) versus non-NODAT KTRs (p = 0.005). The AA genotype of IFNG was found to be predominant in the control group (p = 0.004). Also, significant variations of IL6 G (− 174) C, IL-4 C (− 590) T, interferon-γ T (+ 874) A gene and transforming growth factor β1 C (+ 869) T may contribute to NODAT. Our data is consistent with theTh-1/T-reg pathway of immunity. Further larger pan Arab studies are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the modes of immunosuppressive therapy as a risk factor for new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) in kidney recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective analysis included data from 1367 recipients (755 men and 612 women) who lived more than one year after NODAT and were observed at the Moscow City Nephrology Center from January 1989 to December 2018. NODAT was established for 178 (13%) patients based on criteria from the World Health Organization and the American Diabetes Association. The modes of immunosuppressive therapy using cyclosporin A (CSA), tacrolimus (Tac), mTOR inhibitors, glucocorticoids in patients with NODAT and without NODAT were evaluated. To assess the impact of risk factors, descriptive statistics methods were used, the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. RESULTS NODAT was diagnosed in 105 men and 73 women. The OR for men was 1.19 (95% CI 0.871.64), the OR for women was 0.84 (95% CI 0.611.15). At the time of transplantation, the average age of the kidney recipients in the NODAT group was higher than in the group without NODAT: 51 [43; 57] and 43 [32; 52] years, respectively (p=0.0001). Most patients with NODAT (82%) were older than 50 years, while in the group without NODAT, the proportion of patients of the same age was 48.5% (p=0.0001). Among patients without NODAT, transplantation of a kidney from a living donor was significantly more often compared with the group with NODAT+ (7.1% vs 1.1%;p=0.001). Among the recipients who received the regimen with CSA, diabetes developed in 75 (42.1%), those who received Tac in 102 (57.3%;p0.05). The chance (risk of development) of NODAT in patients receiving i-mTOR + Tac was 3.2 (95% CI 1.476.78;p=0.032), and for patients receiving i-mTOR + cyclosporin A, the chance of development NODAT was 1.95 (95% CI 0.884.35;p=0.044). CONCLUSION 13% of recipients developed de novo kidney diabetes after allograft. Age at the time of allotransplantation, gender, as well as the use of tacrolimus in combination with i-mTOR are the most significant risk factors for the development of NODAT.

Abstract
Early after surgery, liver transplant (LT) recipients often develop weight gain due to an increase of caloric intake and fat mass (without recovery of muscle frame). This modification of body composition together with a negative metabolic impact of immunosuppressive drugs leads to a high prevalence of all the main metabolic disorders. Indeed, as expected, transplanted patients show a higher cardiovascular risk in comparison with general population. Notably, seeing the increase of mean age of transplanted population, metabolic disorders represent the true challenge for the transplant community. Considering the lack of evidences or clear indications about prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders after LT, it would be mandatory to develop targeted further studies on this matter.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), specifically its progressive form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), represents the fastest growing indication for liver transplantation in Western countries. Diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity and cardiovascular disease are frequently present in patients with NAFLD who are candidates for liver transplantation. These factors require specific evaluation, including a detailed pre-surgical risk stratification, in order to improve outcomes after liver transplantation. Moreover, in the post-transplantation setting, the incidence of cardiovascular events and metabolic complications can be amplified by immunosuppressive therapy, which is a well-known driver of metabolic alterations. Indeed, patients with NASH are more prone to developing early post-transplant complications and, in the long-term, de novo malignancy and cardiovascular events, corresponding to higher mortality rates. Therefore, a tailored multidisciplinary approach is required for these patients, both before and after liver transplantation. Appropriate candidate selection, lifestyle modifications and specific assessment in the pre-transplant setting, as well as pharmacological strategies, adjustment of immunosuppression and a healthy lifestyle in the post-transplant setting, play a key role in correct management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) affects up to 50% of solid organ transplant recipients and compromises long-term outcomes. The goal of this study was to investigate how immunosuppressants affect gene expression in a manner that increases diabetes risk, by performing integrative analysis on publicly available, high-throughput gene expression data. METHODS All high-throughput gene expression datasets of solid organ transplant recipients were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Significantly dysregulated genes and pathways were determined, and those in common with type 2 diabetes were identified. THP-1 and HepG2 cells were exposed in vitro to tacrolimus, and validation of genes involved in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism was performed using specific arrays. These cells were then treated with the hypoglycemic agents, metformin, and insulin to assess for appropriate reversion of specific diabetogenic genes. RESULTS Insulin signaling and secretion were the most commonly dysregulated pathways that overlapped with diabetes in transplant recipients. KRAS, GRB2, PCK2, BCL2L1, INSL3, DOK3, and PTPN1 were among the most significantly upregulated genes in both immunosuppression and diabetes subsets and were appropriately reverted by metformin as confirmed in vitro. CONCLUSIONS We discovered that the significantly dysregulated genes in the context of immunosuppression are implicated in insulin signaling and insulin secretion, as a manifestation of pancreatic β-cell function. In vitro validation confirmed key diabetes-related genes in the context of immunosuppression. Further analysis and in vitro validation revealed that metformin optimally reverts diabetogenic genes dysregulated in the context of immunosuppression. The optimal therapeutic management of posttransplant diabetes mellitus needs to be further investigated, taking into account the mechanistic impact of immunosuppressants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retrospective studies suggest that tacrolimus-induced hypomagnesaemia is a risk factor for post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), but prospective studies are lacking. METHODS This was a prospective study with measurements of serum magnesium and tacrolimus at pre-specified time points in the first year after living donor kidney transplantation (KT). The role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1β) was also explored because HNF1β regulates insulin secretion and renal magnesium handling. Repeated measurement and regression analyses were used to analyse associations with PTDM. RESULTS In our cohort, 29 out of 167 kidney transplant recipients developed PTDM after 1 year (17%). Higher tacrolimus concentrations were significantly associated with lower serum magnesium and increased risk of hypomagnesaemia. Patients who developed PTDM had a significantly lower serum magnesium trajectory than patients who did not develop PTDM. In multivariate analysis, lower serum magnesium, age and body mass index were independent risk factors for PTDM. In recipients, the HNF1β SNP rs752010 G > A significantly increased the risk of PTDM [odds ratio (OR) = 2.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-6.23] but not of hypomagnesaemia. This association lost significance after correction for age and sex (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 0.90-5.57). No association between HNF1β SNPs and PTDM was found in corresponding donors. CONCLUSIONS A lower serum magnesium in the first year after KT is an independent risk factor for PTDM. The HNF1β SNP rs752010 G > A may add to this risk through an effect on insulin secretion rather than hypomagnesaemia, but its role requires further confirmation.

Abstract
Liver transplantation represents the only curative option for patients with end-stage liver disease, fulminant hepatitis and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Even though major advances in transplantation in the last decades have achieved excellent survival rates in the early post-transplantation period, long-term survival is hampered by the lack of improvement in survival in the late post transplantation period (over 5 years after transplantation). The main etiologies for late mortality are malignancies and cardiovascular complications. The latter are increasingly prevalent in liver transplant recipients due to the development or worsening of metabolic syndrome and all its components (arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, renal injury, etc.). These comorbidities result from a combination of pre-liver transplant features, immunosuppressive agent side-effects, changes in metabolism and hemodynamics after liver transplantation and the adoption of a sedentary lifestyle. In this review we describe the most prevalent metabolic and cardiovascular complications present after liver transplantation, as well as proposing management strategies.

Abstract
AIM To analyse post-transplant outcomes of NODAT patients in comparison to the regular cohort (non-NODAT). OBJECTIVES To compare graft survival and rejection rate, patient survival rate, incidence of hospitalization (due to any cause) in between NODAT and non-NODAT groups in cases of renal transplantation. METHODS A single-centred prospective real-world observational study of 100 subjects who underwent renal transplantation over a period of two years. All NODAT cases evaluated for graft survival/rejection, incidence of hospitalisation/infection, mortality from all causes and compared with that of non-NODAT post-transplant recipients. Nominal categorical data between the groups are compared using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. p value < 0.05 was taken to indicate a significant difference. RESULTS Mean number of hospital admissions of subjects was 1.38 ± 1.38 and 0.29 ± 0.56 in NODAT and Non-NODAT respectively, p < 0.0001. Nineteen out of 24 NODAT subjects and 72 out of 76 Non-NODAT subjects had graft survival, p = 0.0342. Twenty out of 24 NODAT and 74 out of 76 Non-NODAT subjects had survived, p = 0.0282. CONCLUSIONS NODAT leads to adverse outcomes viz. increased rate of hospitalization, reduced rates of allograft survival and patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic consequences of solid-organ transplant. Most reports on this condition are from cross-sectional or retrospective studies. In this prospective study, we evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and short-term follow-up of diabetes mellitus in recipients of liver transplant at the Shiraz Liver Transplant Center (Shiraz, Iran). MATERIALS AND METHODS Recipients of liver transplant who were ≥ 16 year old and were seen from February 2017 until February 2018 were included. Anthropologic measurements and diabetes history were taken between 2 and 4 weeks after transplant. Fasting blood sugar and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test were measured. We diagnosed patients with diabetes mellitus and patients with impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance test based on American Diabetes Association criteria. These patients were promptly followed for at least 6 months. RESULTS Of the 397 recipients who were included in this study, 35.5% were female and 64.5% were male. Overall, the most common reason for transplant was primary sclerosing cholangitis (22.5%). We had 42 living donors and 355 deceased donors, with none being unrelated donors. At first visit (3.8 ± 1.6 wk posttransplant), 20.4% of recipients did not have diabetes, 24.2% were diagnosed with preexisting diabetes mellitus, 31.2% had impaired fasting blood sugar or oral glucose tolerance test, and 24.2% were determined to have posttransplant diabetes mellitus. At last visit (13.6 ± 4.9 mo posttransplant), prevalence for posttransplant diabetes mellitus was 10.8%. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age correlated with development of impaired glucose tolerance test or posttransplant diabetes mellitus (odds ratio 1.060; 95% confidence interval, 1.026-1.095; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In this prospective cohort study, we followed recipients posttransplant and reevaluated the prevalence of posttransplant diabetes mellitus. We found significant recovery for this type of diabetes mellitus. Further larger and multicenter studies are necessary to monitor and manage diabetes mellitus posttransplant.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of both Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD). After 2008, there has been much evidence presented, and recently the guidelines for sugar control have changed to focus on being more disease orientated. GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1R) and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are suggested as the first line towards fighting all DM, CVD and ESRD. However, the benefits of GLP-1R in organ transplantation recipients remain very limited. No clinical trials have been designed for this particular population. GLP-1R, a gastrointestinal hormone of the incretin family, possesses antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and immunomodulatory actions. There are few drug–drug interactions, with delayed gastric emptying being the major concern. The trough level of tacrolimus may not be significant but should still be closely monitored. There are some reasons which support GLP-1R in recipients seeking glycemic control. Post-transplant DM is due to an impaired β-cell function and glucose-induced glucagon suppression during hyperglycemia, which can be reversed by GLP-1R. GLP-1R infusion tends to relieve immunosuppressant related toxicity. Until now, in some cases, glycemic control and body weight reduction can be anticipated with GLP-1R. Additional renal benefits have also been reported. Side effects of hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal discomfort were rarely reported. In conclusion, GLP-1R could be implemented for recipients while closely monitoring their tacrolimus levels and any potential side effects. Any added benefits, in addition to sugar level control, still require more well-designed studies to prove their existence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of preoperative hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and HBV plus HCV coinfection on the development of new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) remain unexplored in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study examined the association between preoperative viral status (i.e., HBV, HCV, and HBC + HCV infection) and incident NODAT in a large population of Chinese KTRs. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study enrolled 557 subjects who underwent kidney transplantation between 1993 and 2014 at Zhongshan Hospital. Pre-, peri-, and postoperative data were extracted and analyzed. Viral status was defined by serological results for hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-HCV antibody. The cumulative incidence of NODAT was compared across four groups of KTRs with different viral status. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to estimate the effects of HBV, HCV, and HBC + HCV infection on incident NODAT after adjusting for important confounders. RESULTS Patients seropositive for HCV (both HCV monoinfection and HBC + HCV coinfection) had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of NODAT than KTRs who were not infected with HCV (P < 0.05 for both). However, only HCV infection alone was found to be a risk factor for NODAT, increasing the NODAT risk 3.03-fold (95% confidence interval 1.77-5.18; P < 0.001). There was no independent correlation between HBV infection (alone or combined with HCV) and incident NODAT in KTRs. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative HCV infection significantly increased the risk of NODAT in Chinese KTRs, whereas HBV infection and HBC + HCV coinfection were not correlated with NODAT development.

Abstract
Aim: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is one of the main complications after kidney transplantation. It is known that leptin plays an important role in glucose metabolism and mutations in the leptin receptor gene (LEPR) are responsible for different complications in renal transplant recipients. We aimed to analyse the association of polymorphisms in LEPR with the development of PTDM in these patients. Methods: A total of 315 renal transplant recipients were genotyped for the Lys109Arg, Gln223Arg and Lys656Asn polymorphisms. The impact of these genetic variables together with other clinical and demographic parameters on PTDM risk was evaluated in a multivariate regression analysis. Results: The 223Arg variant showed a significant association with PTDM risk [OR = 3.26 (1.35-7.85), p = 0.009] after correcting for multiple testing. Carriers of this variant also showed higher BMI values (26.95 ± 4.23) than non-carriers (25.67 ± 4.43, p = 0.025). In addition, it was BMI at transplant and not the BMI increment in the first year after grafting that was associated with PTDM (p > 0.00001). Haplotype analyses did not reveal significant associations. Conclusions: Our result show, for the first time to our knowledge, that genetic variability in the LEPR may contribute significantly to the risk for PTDM in renal transplant recipients. KEY MESSAGES The LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism significantly contributes to the development of PTDM in renal transplant recipients. The effect of the 223Arg variant on PTDM is strongly modulated by the age of the recipient. The 223Arg variant in the leptin receptor is related to higher BMI in renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) is a complication following solid organ transplantation (SOT) and may be related to immune or inflammatory responses. We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 158 immune- or inflammation-related genes contribute to NODAT in SOT recipients. The association between 263 SNPs and NODAT was investigated in a discovery sample of SOT recipients from the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS, n1 = 696). Positive results were tested in a first STCS replication sample (n2 = 489) and SNPs remaining significant after multiple test corrections were tested in a second SOT replication sample (n3 = 156). Associations with diabetic traits were further tested in several large general population-based samples (n > 480 000). Only SP110 rs2114592C>T remained associated with NODAT in the STCS replication sample. Carriers of rs2114592-TT had 9.9 times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22-30.5, P = .00006) higher risk for NODAT in the combined STCS samples (n = 1184). rs2114592C>T was further associated with NODAT in the second SOT sample (odds ratio: 4.8, 95% CI: 1.55-14.6, P = .006). On the other hand, SP110 rs2114592C>T was not associated with diabetic traits in population-based samples, suggesting a specific gene-environment interaction, possibly due to the use of specific medications (ie, immunosuppressants) in transplant patients and/or to the illness that may unmask the gene effect.

Predictors of De Novo Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease After Liver Transplantation and Associated Fibrosis. Liver Transpl 2019; 25:56-67. [PMID: 30609189 DOI: 10.1002/lt.25338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2018] [Revised: 07/07/2018] [Accepted: 08/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can occur de novo in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) for indications other than NAFLD, and it has been increasingly recognized as a complication in the post-LT setting. This study aims to better characterize de novo NAFLD after LT by identifying risk factors for its development, describing incidence and extent of fibrosis, assessing the diagnostic utility of noninvasive serum fibrosis algorithms, and comparing survival to those without NAFLD. This was a retrospective single-center analysis of de novo NAFLD in a post-LT cohort. Those whose primary indication for LT was nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were excluded. Risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. De novo NAFLD and fibrosis were assessed on posttransplant liver biopsies, and noninvasive fibrosis scores were calculated from concomitant blood tests. After applying the exclusion criteria, 430 for-cause post-LT biopsies were evaluated; 33.3% (n = 143) had evidence of de novo steatosis and/or NASH at a median of 3.0 years after transplant. On multivariate analysis, body mass index (BMI; odds ratio [OR], 1.12; P < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR, 3.01; P = 0.002), hepatitis C virus (OR, 4.61; P < 0.001), weight gain (OR, 1.03; P = 0.007), and sirolimus use (OR, 3.11; P = 0.02) were predictive of de novo NAFLD after LT. Significant fibrosis (≥F2) was present in almost 40% of the cohort. Noninvasive serum fibrosis scores were not useful diagnostic tests. There was no significant difference in the short-term or longterm survival of patients who developed de novo NAFLD. In conclusion, diabetes, BMI, weight gain after LT, and sirolimus-based immunosuppression, in keeping with insulin resistance, were the only modifiable factors associated with development of de novo NAFLD. A significant proportion of patients with de novo NAFLD had fibrosis and given the limited utility of noninvasive serum fibrosis algorithms, alternative noninvasive tools are required to screen for fibrosis in this population. There was no significant difference in the short-term or longterm survival of patients who developed de novo NAFLD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify key predictors and survival outcomes of new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) in liver transplant (LT) recipients by using the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of all adult LT recipients between October 1, 1987, and March 31, 2016, were analyzed using various machine learning methods. These data were divided into training (70%) and validation (30%) data sets to robustly determine predictors of NODAT. The long-term survival of patients with NODAT relative to transplant recipients with preexisting diabetes and those without diabetes was assessed. RESULTS Increasing age (odds ratio [OR], 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.02; P≤.001), male sex (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.05-1.13; P=.03), and obesity (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08-1.18; P<.001) were significantly associated with NODAT. Sirolimus as a primary immunosuppressant carried a 33% higher risk of NODAT than did tacrolimus (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.22-1.45; P<.001) at 1 year after LT. Patients with NODAT had significantly decreased 10-year survival than did those without diabetes (63.0% vs 74.9%; P<.001), similar to survival in patients with diabetes before LT (58.9%). CONCLUSION Using a machine learning approach, we found that older, male, and obese recipients are at especially higher risk of NODAT. Donor features do not affect risk. In addition, sirolimus-based immunosuppression is associated with a significantly higher risk of NODAT than other immunosuppressants. Most importantly, NODAT adversely affects long-term survival after LT in a manner similar to preexisting diabetes, indicating the need for more aggressive care and closer follow-up.

Abstract
Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) adversely affects renal graft and patient survival. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) alone underestimates diagnosis of glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) detected using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT-75). Prediabetes including impaired fasting glucose (IFG): 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT): 140 to 199 mg/dL (7.8-11 mmol/L) 2 hours post 75-g OGTT in the pretransplant period can have a connection with the occurrence of PTDM after renal transplantation (RTx). The aim of our study was to assess the benefit of performing OGTT-75 in dialyzed chronic kidney disease (stage 5) patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation as a useful tool to prevent PTDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pretransplant glucose testing using OGTT-75 was performed in nondiabetic dialyzed chronic kidney disease patients on the waiting list for renal transplantation in the southwest region of Poland. GMD were diagnosed according to current criteria. Patients with recognized prediabetic stage were recommended a low carbohydrate diet, lifestyle modification, and increased physical activity. In the 12-month posttransplant period we estimated the prevalence of PTDM in the study group based on FPG >126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) in 2 measurements or random blood glucose >200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L). RESULTS A total of 80 nondiabetic dialysis patients (65 hemodialysis/15 peritoneal dialysis; 47 male/33 female) met initial entry criteria. In pretransplant glucose testing prediabetes was found in 31 out of 80 patients (39%). Among them, 5 patients (6.25%) had combined IGT/IFG, 18 patients (22.5%) had IGT, and 8 patients (10%) had IFG. One year after RTx we recognized PTDM in 14% of all analyzed patients (11/80) and noticed a significant frequency of glucose disorders status change after RTx (P = .002). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest early detection of prediabetes using the OGTT-75 test in nondiabetic dialysis patients waiting for RTx to prevent occurrence of PTDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) has become one of the major factors that affect the overall survival and long-term life quality in liver transplantation (LT) recipients. Previous studies found that the serum adiponectin concentration of diabetic patients is significantly lower than that of healthy subjects. Adiponectin regulates the blood glucose level by increasing body sensitivity to insulin through various mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of diabetes related gene polymorphisms on the development of NODAT in liver recipients. METHODS A total of 256 LT patients in a single-center were selected retrospectively for the study. Genomic DNA was extracted from explanted liver tissues, and tested for twelve diabetes mellitus associated single nucleotide polymorphisms by Sequenom MassARRAY. Modified clinical models in predicting NODAT were established and evaluated. RESULTS The GG genotype of ADIPOQ rs1501299 gene polymorphism was significantly more frequent in NODAT than non-NODAT LT patients (56% vs 39%, P=0.014). Dominant model (GG vs GT+TT, P=0.030) and recessive model (GT+GG vs TT, P=0.005) also confirmed the genotype distribution difference between NODAT and non-NODAT groups. Age (OR=1.048, P=0.004), BMI (OR=1.107, P=0.041), and blood tacrolimus level at 1-month LT (OR=1.170, P=0.003) were clinical independent risk factors of NODAT. Furthermore, rs1501299 could improve the ability of clinical model in predicting NODAT (AUROC=0.743, P<0.001). CONCLUSION ADIPOQ rs1501299 gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of NODAT, which should be added to the clinical models in predicting the occurrence of NODAT in LT recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS & AIMS New-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is a common complication after liver transplantation (LT). The small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) rs237025 polymorphism has been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms with NODM and the long-term consequences of NODM after LT. METHODS A total of 126 liver transplant patients were enrolled in the study. One single nucleotide polymorphism, SUMO4 rs237025, was genotyped in both donors and recipients. RESULTS Both donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with NODM after LT. In multivariate analysis, recipient age>50 years, tacrolimus trough concentrations>10ng/mL at 1month after LT, donor and recipient rs237025 genetic variant, and the combined donor and recipient rs237025 genetic variant were independent predictive factors of NODM. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analysis indicated the higher predictive ability of the model containing combined donor and recipient rs237025 polymorphisms than the clinical model (p=0.046). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that NODM was related to significantly poorer patient survival in comparison with non-NODM patients (p=0.041). CONCLUSIONS Both donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms contribute to the development of NODM after LT and NODM is a frequent complication that negatively affects patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between the glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms and the development of new-onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplant was studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peripheral blood samples were collected from 106 liver transplant patients divided into 2 groups: 52 with new-onset diabetes mellitus and 54 without new-onset diabetes mellitus; 169 healthy individuals with no clinical evidence of diabetes mellitus were selected as a control group. The multiplex polymerase chain reaction technique was used for genotyping GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes, using the cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 (CYP1A1) gene as an internal control. The genotype of GSTP1 was determined using the restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction technique. RESULTS The frequency of both GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null genotypes was not significantly different in liver transplant patients with new-onset diabetes mellitus compared with the control group (P = .11 for GSTM1; P = .71 for GSTT1). Also, there was no statistically significant association between the frequency of the GSTP1 genotypes in the liver transplant patients with new-onset diabetes mellitus compared with controls. Neither GSTM1 nor GSTT1 null genotypes were associated with the risk of developing new-onset diabetes mellitus (P = .22 for GSTM1; P = .56 for GSTT1). However, the frequency of the heterozygous mutation (AG) in the A313G GSTP1 polymorphism in patients with new-onset diabetes mellitus was significantly higher than in patients without new-onset diabetes mellitus (55.8% vs 7.4%; P = .00). Thus, the risk of developing new-onset diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in patients presenting with heterozygous GSTP1 genotypes (odds ratio = 15.76; 95% confidence interval = 4.53-60.28; P = .00). CONCLUSIONS The GSTP1 AG genotype was associated with an increased susceptibility to the development of new-onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplant.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of cyclosporine (CsA) on the pharmacokinetic parameters of mycophenolic acid (MPA), an active mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) metabolite, and to compare with the effect of everolimus (EVR).Anonymized medical records of 404 kidney recipients were reviewed. The main MPA pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC(0-12) and Cmax) were evaluated.The patients treated with a higher mean dose of CsA displayed higher MPA AUC(0-12) exposure in the low-dose MMF group (1000 mg/day) (40.50 ± 10.97 vs 28.08 ± 11.03 h mg/L; rs = 0.497, P < 0.05), medium-dose MMF group (2000 mg/day) (43.00 ± 6.27 vs 28.85 ± 11.08 h mg/L; rs = 0.437, P < 0.01), and high-dose MMF group (3000 mg/day) (56.75 ± 16.78 vs 36.20 ± 3.70 h mg/L; rs = 0.608, P < 0.05).A positive correlation was also observed between the mean CsA dose and the MPA Cmax in the low-dose MMF group (Cmax 22.83 ± 10.82 vs 12.08 ± 5.59 mg/L; rs = 0.507, P < 0.05) and in the medium-dose MMF group (22.77 ± 8.86 vs 13.00 ± 6.82 mg/L; rs = 0.414, P < 0.01).The comparative analysis between 2 treatment arms (MMF + CsA and MMF + EVR) showed that MPA AUC(0-12) exposure was by 43% higher in the patients treated with a medium dose of MMF and EVR than in the patients treated with a medium dose of MMF and CsA.The data of the present study suggest a possible CsA versus EVR influence on MMF pharmacokinetics. Study results show that CsA has an impact on the main MPA pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC(0-12) and Cmax) in a CsA dose-related manner, while EVR mildly influence or does not affect MPA pharmacokinetic parameters. Low-dose CsA (lower than 180 mg/day) reduces MPA AUC(0-12) exposure under the therapeutic window and may lead to ineffective therapy, while a high-dose CsA (>240 mg/day) is related to greater than 10 mg/L MPA Cmax and increases the likelihood of adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a significant co-morbidity following kidney transplantation. Lower post-transplant serum magnesium levels have been found to be an independent risk factor for NODAT in adult kidney transplant recipients. METHODS We undertook a retrospective analysis of risk factors for NODAT in pediatric renal transplant recipients at our institution with the aim of determining if hypomagnesemia confers a significant risk of developing NODAT in this patient population. RESULTS A total of 173 children with a median age at transplantation of 7.0 (range 1.3-17.5) years were included. Hypomagnesemia was found to be a significant independent risk factor for NODAT (p = 0.01). High trough tacrolimus levels were also independently associated with NODAT (p < 0.001). There was no significant association between NODAT and body mass index at the time of transplantation, monthly cumulative steroid dose or post-transplant cytomegalovirus viremia (p = 0.9, 0.6 and 0.7, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study identifies hypomagnesemia as a significant independent risk factor for the development of NODAT in pediatric renal transplant recipients. Given the clear association between hypomagnesemia and NODAT in both adults and children following renal transplantation, further studies are merited to clarify the etiology of this association and to examine the effect of magnesium supplementation on NODAT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperglycemia increases risks of kidney and liver transplant rejection. To determine whether perioperative and subsequent glycemic control was associated with increased risk of heart transplant rejection over the year after transplantation, we performed a retrospective analysis of glycemic control and rejection rates in heart transplantation patients. METHODS Perioperative glucose levels were analyzed in 157 patients undergoing transplantation at Northwestern Memorial Hospital from June 2005 to December 2012 and compared in patients with and without rejection found on routine follow-up biopsy specimens. RESULTS Grade ≤1R rejection on biopsy was observed in 116 patients and grade ≥2R rejection (grade requiring increased anti-rejection treatment) in 41 patients. Although no significant differences in the preoperative fasting or inpatient mean glucose levels were found, the mean glucose levels from discharge to 1 year trended higher in those with grade ≥2R compared to grade ≤1R (128.8 ± 40.9 versus 142.2 ± 46.6 mg/dL, P = .084). In a multivariable logistic regression model, neither the lowest nor highest quartile of glucose levels had significantly different odds ratios (ORs) for the development of ≥2R compared to the middle 50% glucose levels. Older age (OR 0.96, P = .020) and higher body mass index levels (OR 0.86, P = .004) were significantly associated with lower odds of developing grade ≥2R. CONCLUSIONS Although the glucose trend regarding rejection was not statistically significant, we cannot exclude the possibility that much higher glucose levels would influence rejection rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present retrospective observational study was to examine the effect of interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL-2Ra) on new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) in liver transplant recipients. METHODS Pre- and postoperative clinical data of 781 patients undergoing liver transplantation between April 2001 and December 2014 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the use of IL-2Ra (IL-2Ra and non-IL-2Ra). The cumulative incidence of NODAT was compared between the IL-2Ra and non-IL-2Ra groups and the effect of IL-2Ra on the incidence of NODAT in liver transplant recipients was evaluated. RESULTS Of the 781 patients in the study, 451 received IL-2Ra. During follow-up, 138 (41.8%) and 137 (30.4%) patients in the non-IL-2Ra and IL-2Ra groups, respectively, developed NODAT (P = 0.001). The cumulative incidence of NODAT at 1, 3, 5, and 8 years after transplantation in the IL-2Ra group was 30%, 38%, 45%, and 54%, respectively; these values were substantially lower than corresponding values for the non-IL-2Ra group (P < 0.05). Cox regression analyses showed that IL-2Ra was a protective factor against NODAT development (odds ratio 0.685; 95% confidence interval 0.473-0.991; P = 0.044). This was independent of age, sex, donor type, hepatitis virus infection, body mass index, history of hypertension, preoperative liver function, preoperative fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and total triglyceride levels, severity of liver cirrhosis, acute rejection, initial immunosuppressant regimen type, and postoperative immunosuppressant levels. CONCLUSION In conclusion, IL-2Ra reduces the risk of NODAT in liver transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a serious complication after kidney transplantation, but evidence regarding long-term outcomes of treatment regimens remains scarce. AIM AND METHODS The aim of this retrospective cohort analysis was to assess the long-term efficiency and safety of antidiabetic treatments in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), who were diagnosed with PTDM by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESULTS Of 561 KTRs that were screened for PTDM at our outpatient clinic, 71 (13%) had a diabetic OGTT and were included in this study. Mean follow-up was 34.2 ± 16.1 months. Thirty-six PTDM patients (51%) received antidiabetic treatment after diagnosis with either a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, a sulfonylurea, pioglitazone, or insulin. These patients had significantly higher fasting glucose and two-h plasma glucose (2HPG) values at baseline than those who remained without therapy. In contrast to lifestyle modification alone or sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors improved glycemic control significantly. Adverse events were generally mild and occurred at similar rates in all groups. CONCLUSION While sulfonylureas failed to improve glycemic control, DPP-4 inhibitors appeared effective and safe for the therapy of PTDM after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a serious complication following solid organ transplantation. There is a genetic contribution to NODAT and we have conducted comprehensive meta-analysis of available genetic data in kidney transplant populations. METHODS Relevant articles investigating the association between genetic markers and NODAT were identified by searching PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar. SNPs described in a minimum of three studies were included for analysis using a random effects model. The association between identified variants and NODAT was calculated at the per-study level to generate overall significance values and effect sizes. RESULTS Searching the literature returned 4,147 citations. Within the 36 eligible articles identified, 18 genetic variants from 12 genes were considered for analysis. Of these, three were significantly associated with NODAT by meta-analysis at the 5% level of significance; CDKAL1 rs10946398 p = 0.006 OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.11-1.85 (n = 696 individuals), KCNQ1 rs2237892 p = 0.007 OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.10-1.86 (n = 1,270 individuals), and TCF7L2 rs7903146 p = 0.01 OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.07-1.85 (n = 2,967 individuals). CONCLUSION Evaluating cumulative evidence for SNPs associated with NODAT in kidney transplant recipients has revealed three SNPs associated with NODAT. An adequately powered, dense genome-wide association study will provide more information using a carefully defined NODAT phenotype.

Risk factors for post-transplant diabetes mellitus in renal transplant: Role of genetic variability in the CYP450-mediated arachidonic acid metabolism. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2016; 419:158-64. [PMID: 26483195 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2015.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2015] [Revised: 10/13/2015] [Accepted: 10/13/2015] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and 20-hidroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), which play an important role both in renal transplant and diabetes mellitus (DM). We searched for associations between polymorphisms in this metabolic pathway and the risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney recipients. One-hundred-sixty-four patients were genotyped for common SNPs in this route, namely CYP2C8*3, CYP2C8*4, CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, CYP2J2*7, CYP4A11 F434S and CYP4F2 V433M. Demographic and clinical parameters were retrospectively collected at four time-points in the first year after grafting. Thirty-four patients (20.73%) developed PTDM, which was more prevalent among older patients [OR for older age = 1.06 (1.03-1.10), p < 0.001] and in those with higher body mass index (BMI) [OR for higher average BMI in the first year = 1.13 (1.04-1.23); p < 0.01]. Creatinine clearance [OR = 0.97 (0.95-0.99); p < 0.01] and exposure to tacrolimus [OR = 3.25 (1.15-9.19); p < 0.05] were also relevant for PTDM risk. With regard to genetic variants, logistic regression analysis controlling for significant demographic and clinical variables showed that the V433M polymorphism in CYP4F2, responsible for 20-HETE synthesis, was an independent risk factor for PTDM [OR = 3.94 (1.08-14.33); p < 0.05]. We have shown that a genetic variant in the CYP4F2 gene, the main gene implicated in 20-HETE synthesis, is associated with the risk for PTDM. Our findings suggest that genes in the metabolic pathways of AA may become good candidates in genetic association studies for PTDM.

Abstract
Background Hyperglycemia following solid organ transplant is common among patients without pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM). Post-transplant hyperglycemia can occur once or multiple times, which if continued, causes new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT). Objective To study if the first and recurrent incidence of hyperglycemia are affected differently by immunosuppressive regimens, demographic and medical-related risk factors, and inpatient hyperglycemic conditions (i.e., an emphasis on the time course of post-transplant complications). Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 407 patients who underwent kidney transplantation at Mayo Clinic Arizona. Among these, there were 292 patients with no signs of DM prior to transplant. For this category of patients, we evaluated the impact of (1) immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., tacrolimus, sirolimus, and steroid), (2) demographic and medical-related risk factors, and (3) inpatient hyperglycemic conditions on the first and recurrent incidence of hyperglycemia in one year post-transplant. We employed two versions of Cox regression analyses: (1) a time-dependent model to analyze the recurrent cases of hyperglycemia and (2) a time-independent model to analyze the first incidence of hyperglycemia. Results Age (P = 0.018), HDL cholesterol (P = 0.010), and the average trough level of tacrolimus (P<0.0001) are significant risk factors associated with the first incidence of hyperglycemia, while age (P<0.0001), non-White race (P = 0.002), BMI (P = 0.002), HDL cholesterol (P = 0.003), uric acid (P = 0.012), and using steroid (P = 0.007) are the significant risk factors for the recurrent cases of hyperglycemia. Discussion This study draws attention to the importance of analyzing the risk factors associated with a disease (specially a chronic one) with respect to both its first and recurrent incidence, as well as carefully differentiating these two perspectives: a fact that is currently overlooked in the literature.
