| Description | Diabetic (DM) nephropathy is an indication of renal transplantation in 30% of all cases in our hospital. We assessed retrospectively the outcome of these diabetics (DM) in comparison with their non-diabetic (NDM) controls. Each diabetic (n = 24) had a control (n = 24) receiving a kidney from the same donor. There was no difference in the stage of uraemia preoperatively. Anaesthesia and fluid therapy were standardized. Peroperative hypotension occurred more often in diabetics (NS). All operating parameters including cold ischaemia were comparable. Kidney function started immediately in 14/24 in the DM group and 13/24 in the NDM group and was delayed in 10/24 and 11/24, respectively. One diabetic patient rejected the transplant as did two non-diabetic patients. Postoperatively diuretics could be discontinued more often in the DM than in the NDM group (p < 0.05). Antihypertensives had to be started in the NDM more often (NS) than in the DM group. In conclusion, the outcome of diabetic patients after renal transplantation was comparable to their NDM controls. |
