Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 101 renal transplant recipients without prior evidence of diabetes was conducted. All patients underwent an oral glucose tolerance test with 75g of glucose. RESULTS: The patients with glucose intolerance had a significantly greater urinary albumin excretion than those with normal glucose tolerance. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the increase of urinary albumin excretion correlated significantly with the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and systolic pressure. CONCLUSION:
