Abstract

This article presents an overview of the literature on the current diagnostic criteria for new onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) and discusses suggested risk factors for the development of NODAT, its potential pathogenic mechanisms, and its impact on post-transplant outcomes after solid organ transplantation. Suggested guidelines for early identification and management of NODAT are also discussed.
