A previous study (1995-1996) of 173 nondiabetic renal transplant recipients (historical cohort; HC) revealed a 20% incidence of new-onset posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and 32% with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG). We examined whether glucose tolerance has improved after recent changes in our immunosuppressive protocol and a switch from deferred to preemptive cytomegalovirus (CMV) therapy.
