However, post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication, occurring in approximately one-third of renal transplant recipients. The main aims of our study were to determine the risk factors associated with the development of PTDM in renal transplant patients, to demonstrate its incidence, and to evaluate its long-term consequences on graft and patient survival.Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 242 non-diabetic kidney transplant recipients who underwent transplantation between January 2014 and December 2022. Patients with pre-existing diabetes, younger than 18 years old, multiple transplants or graft survival of less than one year were excluded. Demographic data, immunosuppressive regimens, perioperative glucose levels and laboratory findings were collected. All patients classified as having PTDM required glucose lowering treatment—either oral antidiabetic agents or insulin—initiated after the third month post-transplant, confirming the persistence of hyperglycemia beyond the early postoperative period. Statistical analysis were performed using IBM SPSS 22 with categorical variables compared using Pearson Chi-square test and continuous variables using Mann-Whitney U test. ROC analysis logistic regression were conducted to identify risk factors for PTDM. Results: PTDM developed more frequently in older (45 vs. 33 years, p KW - Kidney transplantation KW - post-transplant diabetes mellitus KW - risk factors KW - body mass index KW - coronary artery disease N2 - Amaç: Böbrek transplantasyonu, son dönem böbrek hastalığında (SDBH) tercih edilen tedavi yöntemlerinden biri olup, böbrek fonksiyonlarını ve hastanın yaşam kalitesini önemli ölçüde korur. Ancak, post-transplant diyabetes mellitus (PTDM) sık görülen bir komplikasyondur ve böbrek nakli alıcılarının yaklaşık üçte birinde ortaya çıkar. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, böbrek nakli alıcılarında PTDM gelişimi ile ilişkili risk faktörlerini belirlemek, insidansını göstermek ve uzun dönem greft ile hasta sağkalımı üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektir.Yöntemler: Tek merkezli retrospektif bu çalışmaya Ocak 2014 – Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında böbrek transplantasyonu yapılan 242 diyabetik olmayan hasta dahil edilmiştir. Önceden diyabeti olan, 18 yaşından küçük, çoklu transplant geçiren veya greft sağkalımı bir yıldan az olan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmemiştir. Demografik veriler, immünsüpresif tedavi rejimleri, perioperatif glukoz düzeyleri ve laboratuvar bulguları kayıt edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS 22 programı kullanılarak yapılmış; kategorik değişkenler Pearson Ki-kare testi, sürekli değişkenler Mann-Whitney U testi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. PTDM risk faktörlerini belirlemek için ROC analizi ve lojistik regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmamızda PTDM insidansı %15,2 olarak bulunmuştur.
