Renal insufficiency predisposes to insulin resistance, hyperparathyroidism and derangements in calcium phosphate and nitrogenous compound balance, leading to pre-transplant hyperglycaemia. These metabolic risk factors are not fully corrected after renal transplantation. The present study aimed to assess the role of pre-transplant glycaemia and the named metabolic risk factors in post-transplant hyperglycaemia [PHYG; impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or diabetes mellitus (DM)].
