Abstract

Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is one from the most common metabolic complications after kidney transplantation. PTDM develops in the early period after transplantation. The risk factors of PTDM are carbohydrate imbalances occurring in the patient prior to transplantation, surgery and the inclusion of immunosuppressive treatment. Kidney transplant patients tend to gain weight, which is associated with an increased risk of post-transplant diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and abnormal transplanted kidney function. Patients after kidney transplantation should be advised to adopt a lifestyle based on a proper diet, exercise, weight control and smoking cessation. The strategy to reduce the risk factors for PTDM development should start before transplantation and continue after kidney transplantation. A targeted, non-pharmacological approach to patients already during the dialysis period may have a significant impact on reducing post-transplantation diabetes. Lifestyle interventions can effectively reduce the risk of development and inhibit the progression of post-transplantation diabetes. The article describes elements of comprehensive non-pharmacological management based on available knowledge of rehabilitation, dietetics and psychology.
