Correlation between CMV Infection and Posttransplantation New-onset Diabetes Mellitus

New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) is a well-known complication of transplantation.
To determine the correlation between CMV infection and NODAT.
Retrospectively, we detected CMV replication (PCR) in every month after renal transplantation in the first 12 months of the procedure in a homogenous group of patients from the immunosuppression point of view.
In 167 patients (64 with NODAT and 103 in the control group), the average amount of CMV viremia was not significantly different between the NODAT and the control group (p=0.929). In the 10th month of transplantation, we recorded a significantly higher CMV viremia in the NODAT group (p CMV is not a risk factor for NODAT.
