- Authors
Kapoor, Ritika R.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the new-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) in liver transplantation in children. She discusses the study by Greig and colleagues which explores the incidence of NODAT after liver transplant or diabetes after liver transplant (DALT) in children and reports a link between development of diabetes and immunosuppression with increased number of rejections. She suggests further research on risk factors of diabetes which include cystic fibrosis.
