Short Description
Post-Transplant Diabetes Mellitus (PTDM) and obesity are frequent complications
after renal transplantation. PTDM affects up to 30% of renal transplant recipients,
which doubles the prevalence of type 2 diabetes observed in the general population.
The consequences of PTDM are severe: it is associated with a reduced patient
survival, high risk of infections and cardiovascular disease, diminishes quality of life
and increases health care expenditure. Obesity, particularly associated with
metabolic syndrome -metabolically unhealthy obesity- is frequent after
transplantation and is associated with increased risk for allograft dysfunction. In this
CME we will evaluate diverse aspects of PTDM and obesity including: pathogenesis,
impact, long-term evolution and treatment, as well as the consequences of obesity
and metabolic syndrome in renal transplantation.
