The presentation of proteinuria in an adolescent with new-onset diabetes after heart transplantation

A 14-year-old girl presented with new-onset noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus for 5 years after a heart transplantation that was performed 7 years ago. The immunosuppressive agents that she received initially were tacrolimus, everolimus, and prednisolone, and she was maintained with cyclosporine and everolimus for the past 5 years. Treatment for her diabetes initially included oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs), which was then switched to insulin therapy due to OHA-induced gastrointestinal upset.
