The association between glycemic control and clinical outcomes after kidney transplantation.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between glycemic control after renal transplantation and subsequent graft function and complications.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 202 consecutive patients undergoing kidney transplantation to analyze the association between perioperative and chronic glycemic control and clinical outcomes of rejection, infection, and hospital readmission during the first year after kidney transplantation.

Results: Mean in-hospital blood glucose (BG) was 157 ± 34.
