Summary
New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a common complication in renal transplant (RT) patients. The clinical significance of pre-transplant HbA1c level remains unclear in RT patients. Thus, we investigated the predictive role of pre-transplant HbA1c levels for the NODAT diagnosed in 1 year after renal transplantation.
