Does diabetes impact therapeutic immunomodulation therapy decisions for kidney transplant recipients? Data from the Folic Acid for Vascular Outcome Reduction in Transplant (FAVORIT) trial

These patients are more likely to have required multiple medications to control hypertension and are more likely to have received tacrolimus as opposed to cyclosporine than the non–diabetic transplant recipients (all p<0.001). These outcomes call for further exploration of the effect of differences in treatment of non–diabetic vs diabetic cohorts after stable renal transplantation upon outcomes, it can provide additional information that might lead to improved care.
