摘要
Several clinical risk factors are associated with new-onset diabetes mellitus after a liver transplant including family history of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, and increased age. The confounding effect of some of these variables may contribute to the reported significant effect of tacrolimus in causing new-onset diabetes mellitus after a transplant.
