The Impact of Preexisting and Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus on Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation

Pre-DM increases the risk of ESRD and mCVE; however, patient survival was comparable to those with PTDM and without diabetes. Understanding the impact of PTDM would need prolonged follow-up.
