Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors associated with hyperglycemia in renal transplant patients. For this, a retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to collect clinical, laboratory and anthropometric data from patients who underwent kidney transplantation. To identify factors associated with hyperglycemia, a bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed with hierarchical models. Among the 89 patients evaluated, the body mass index revealed 47.1% of eutrophic patients and 34.7% overweight. 28% of the patients had hyperglycemia and 82%, 86.5%, 87.6% and 91% had altered creatinine, urea, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, respectively. A statistically significant association (p <0.05) of hyperglycemia with obesity II and III was found, and patients with obesity II and III were more likely to have altered glycemia and potassium, (PR = 4.91; CI: 1.04, p <0.001; RP = 2.23; CI: 1.09-4.54, p = 0.026), respectively. Obesity and hyperkalemia were found to be risk factors for hyperglycemia in renal transplant patients.
