Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Background Hyperglycemia occurs frequently after kidney transplantation and may be reversed when the dosage of the immunosuppressive agents is tapered. However, the effect of transient post-transplantation hyperglycemia (PTH) on transplantation outcomes is not well described. Methods Kidney transplant recipients without diabetes who underwent kidney transplantation between 2001 and 2012 were enrolled in the study.
