Posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a major metabolic complication in renal transplant recipients. Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) and adiponectin receptor-1 (ADIPOR1) gene polymorphisms have been associated with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown whether these polymorphisms are also risk factors for PTDM.
