Should Pre-Transplant Hemoglobin A1c Be Used to Predict Post-Transplant Compliance in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantation?

CONCLUSIONS In diabetic ESRD patients selected for renal transplantation, elevated pre-transplant HbA1c levels, defined as HbA1c >7.7%, are not predictive of post-transplant medication compliance. We advocate that this group of patients should not be denied transplant solely on their elevated pre-transplant HbA1c. PMID: 32587234 [PubMed - in process]
