| [ Summary ] | Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Since kidney transplantation patients have better survival and quality of life than dialysis patients, patients with diabetes mellitus should also receive kidney transplantation. CVD is the most common cause of death among diabetic patients along with bacterial and fungal infection. Therefore, pre-transplantation evaluation and post-transplantation management of diabetic patients are important. | |
