Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of NODM or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in de novo kidney transplant patients receiving cyclosporine microemulsion versus in patients receiving tacrolimus within the first 6 months post-transplantation.

  • Incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) or graft loss or death within the first 6 months post-transplantation.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • incidence of NODM or IFG within the first 3 mths post-transplantation in pts treated with cyclosporine microemulsion or tacrolimus

  • percentage of pts with preexisting diabetes at transplantation who have a glycosylated hemoglobin level >7% at Mths 3 &6 post-transplantation

  • Change over time of mean HbA1c at mths 3 &6 post-transplantation in pts w/ preexisting diabetes at transplantation

  • percentage of pts who switched from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin within 3 &6 mths post-transplantation

  • incidence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) as assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

    6 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
