Transplant-associated hyperglycemia, including diabetes and prediabetes, is common and linked to serious complications like graft loss and cardiovascular disease. Early detection and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes after organ transplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Improving survival in solid organ transplantation increases the importance of managing chronic hyperglycemia.
  • New-onset diabetes mellitus and prediabetic states (impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance) are prevalent post-transplant.
  • Hyperglycemia in transplant recipients is linked to graft loss, cardiovascular disease, infection, and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significant burden and complications of transplantation-associated hyperglycemia.
  • To discuss the shared and distinct pathogenic factors and clinical repercussions across different organ transplant types.
  • To emphasize the need for aggressive screening and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on post-transplant hyperglycemia and its complications.

  • Analysis of shared diabetogenic factors (immunosuppressants) and organ-specific challenges (renal/hepatic function restoration).
  • Examination of hyperglycemia's impact on cardiovascular disease, graft outcomes, and fibrosis in various transplant populations.

    • Main Results:

    • Transplantation-associated hyperglycemia, including prediabetes, is more prevalent and impactful than previously recognized.
    • Hyperglycemia exacerbates cardiovascular disease in kidney transplant recipients.
    • It contributes to cardiac allograft vasculopathy and liver fibrosis in heart and liver transplant recipients, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Aggressive screening for hyperglycemia post-transplantation is essential for early detection.
    • Risk factor modification, lifestyle changes, and pharmacotherapy can mitigate the impact of hyperglycemia.
    • Future research should explore novel diabetes therapies and prevention/reversal strategies for transplant-associated hyperglycemia.
