Pre-transplant diabetes predicts atherosclerotic vascular events and cardiovascular mortality in liver transplant recipients: a long-term follow-up study

Predictors of renal recovery in recipients of liver transplant alone who met 2017 simultaneous liver‐kidney transplant criteria

“…These results are in line with prior studies in LT recipients that showed an increased mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome or its components. 13,14 Hepatitis C was associated with shorter time to recovery (HR 3.45, CI 1.54-7.72, p-value .01) although this observation's clinical implication is unclear at this time especially with prior literature not demonstrating a role for Hepatitis C in renal recovery in this patient population. 15,16 Our work showed that even in patients who met SN criteria, 36% patients encountered relative renal recovery afterwards.…”

2020 Clinical Update in Liver Transplantation

“…Long-term follow of LT patients with a median of 14 years found that pre-transplant DM independently predicted atherosclerotic vascular events (AVE). 87 Defining AVE as specific conditions with evidence of atherosclerotic disease were as follows: myocardial infarction, angina, transient ischemic attack, stroke, and intermittent claudication. The authors also noted that pre-transplant DM doubled their risk for AVE.…”

Liver transplantation and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: the state of the art

“…The prevalence of diabetes amongst subjects awaiting LT for NASH ranges from 46% to 55% [35,36] . Considering the pre-LT context, diabetes is associated with early postoperative complications, such as infection and adverse CV events [37] . Moreover, we recently demonstrated that pre-LT diabetes represents an independent predictor of post-transplant atherosclerotic events and CV-related mortality [38] .…”
