Brief Summary

With improvements in patient and graft survival, increasing attention has been placed on complications that contribute to long-term patient morbidity and mortality. New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a common complication of solid-organ transplantation, and is a strong predictor of graft failure and cardiovascular mortality in the transplant population. Risk factors for NODAT in transplant recipients are similar to those in non-transplant patients, but transplant-specific risk factors such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection, corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors play a dominant role in NODAT pathogenesis. The predominant factor for causing NODAT by corticosteroids seems to be the aggravation of insulin resistance; however several studies have displayed deleterious effects on insulin secretion and β-cells. Thus, adjusting the immunosuppressant regimen to improve glucose tolerance must be measured and defined from long term perspective. As recipients of organ transplants survive longer, the complications of NODAT have assumed greater importance; therefore, we designed a prospective study to compare the safety and efficacy of early versus late withdrawal of corticosteroids after liver transplantation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate incidence of NODAT in patients of two arms

    NODAT will be defined as consecutively FPG ≥126mg/dl in two different days or PPG 2hr ≥200mg/dl Ref. Steroid Withdrawal in Adult Liver Transplantation: Occurrence at a Single Center. Transplantation Proceedings, 2010; 42: 4132-4136) 1. Incidence of NODAT in ref. : (9.9%) 2. 95% Confidence Interval(CI): (6%) Considering 10% drop-out rate, 76 patients will be enrolled in one arm. Totally, 152 will be enrolled.

    for 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To evaluate incidence rate of first acute rejection

    for 1 year

  • To evaluate time to first acute rejection

    for 1 year

  • To evaluate proportion of patients experiencing treatment failure

    for 1 year

  • To evaluate graft survival rates

    for 1 year

  • To evaluate patient overall survial, OS

    for 1 year
