Serum Uric Acid is Associated with Increased Risk of Posttransplantation Diabetes in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Prospective Cohort Study

Whether SUA is independently associated with higher risk of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remains unknown.
