New Onset Diabetes after Liver Transplantation (NODAT): Myths and Facts

digestive disorders peer review
NODAT is considered as one of the crucial factors that limit the real time therapeutic efficacy of patients who undergo liver transplantation. While family history of Diabetes Mellitus, immunosuppressive treatment regimen used, obesity, and etiology of CLD are considered as chief contributors towards development of post-surgical NODAT in majority of liver transplantation cases, recent study results indicate otherwise. Most cases of NODAT are transient in nature i.e. the patients recover within six months to one year. Furthermore, the total percentage of people NODAT has also declined significantly in the recent past. Hence, a multifactorial and extended analysis of NODAT is crucial to accessing the real time therapeutic efficiency of the surgical procedure.
