Post transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a frequent complication after organ transplantation. There are several predisposing factors for this complication, which may be present in the pre-transplant, peri-transplant, or already post-transplant; within these, associated immunosuppressive therapies will be highlighted. The clinical importance of DMPT lies in its impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this article, we review traditional interventions and new therapies for managing and treating PTDM.
