Abstract Background and Aims Posttransplantation diabetes Mellitus (PTDM) is one of the major medical problems in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Diuretic-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes have been described in the general population. We aimed to investigate whether diuretics also increase PTDM risk in RTRs. Method We included 486 stable outpatient RTRs (with a functioning graft ≥1 year) without diabetes from a prospective longitudinal study (the Transplantlines Food and Nutrition Study [NCT02811835]). Participants were classified as diuretic users and non-diuretic users based on their medication use recording at baseline. PTDM was defined according the American Diabetes Association’s diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were performed to assess the prospective association between diuretic use and the risk of PTDM development. Results Median time since transplantation was 5.4 (2.0-12.2) years and 168 (35%) RTRs were taking diuretics. After 5.2 (IQR, 4.0 5.9) years of follow up, 54 (11%) RTRs developed PTDM. In Kaplan-Meier (log-rank test, p&lt;0.001) and Cox regression analyses, diuretic use was found to be associated with incident PTDM after adjustment for age, sex, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and HbA1c (hazard ratio[HR] 3.28, 95% CI 1.84-5.83; p&lt;0.001). The association remained independent of further adjustment for potential confounders, including lifestyle, use of other medication, kidney function, transplantation-specific parameters, BMI, lipids, and blood pressure. Exploratory analyses further indicates that, in Cox regression analyses, both thiazide (n=74) and loop diuretics (n=76) as two main types of diuretics used among RTRs appeared to be associated with the development of PTDM, independent of age, sex, FPG, and HbA1c ([HR 2.70, 95% CI 1.24-5.29; p=0.012], and [HR 5.08, 95% CI 2.49-10.34; p&lt;0.001], respectively). Conclusion This study demonstrates that diuretics overall, associated with the risk of developing PTDM in RTRs, independent of established risk factors for PTDM development. The association was consistent for thiazide and loop diuretics.

New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a frequent complication in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Although oxidative stress has been associated with diabetes mellitus, data regarding NODAT are limited. We aimed to prospectively investigate the long-term association between the oxidative stress biomarker malondialdehyde (measured by high-performance liquid chromatography) and NODAT in an extensively phenotyped cohort of non-diabetic RTR with a functioning graft ≥1 year. We included 516 RTR (51 ± 13 years-old, 57% male). Median plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) was 2.55 (IQR, 1.92–3.66) µmol/L. During a median follow-up of 5.3 (IQR, 4.6–6.0) years, 56 (11%) RTR developed NODAT. In Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses, MDA was inversely associated with NODAT, independent of immunosuppressive therapy, transplant-specific covariates, lifestyle, inflammation, and metabolism parameters (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.36–0.83 per 1-SD increase; p < 0.01). Dietary antioxidants intake (e.g., vitamin E, α-lipoic acid, and linoleic acid) were effect-modifiers of the association between MDA and NODAT, with particularly strong inverse associations within the subgroup of RTR with relatively higher dietary antioxidants intake. In conclusion, plasma MDA concentration is inversely and independently associated with long-term risk of NODAT in RTR. Our findings support a potential underrecognized role of oxidative stress in post-transplantation glucose homeostasis.
