Chanchlani R, et al. - In order to determine the incidence of hyperglycemia and diabetes, and the association of cations with both endpoints, a cohort study of 451 pediatric solid organ transplant recipients was performed. This study reported hyperglycemia and diabetes in 15 and 6% children, respectively, and these conditions developed early posttransplant with lung or multi-organ transplant recipients at the highest risk. In addition, hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia did not confer significantly greater risk for hyperglycemia or diabetes in children.
