      abstract = {Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for  end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but obesity may increase  the risk of new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) or  worsen pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM). This  retrospective study analyzed 179 adult first-time kidney  transplant recipients at OHSU (2008–2011) to assess  associations between pre-transplant BMI and post-transplant  diabetes outcomes. Logistic regression showed higher BMI  modestly increased NODAT risk at discharge, 3, and 6 months  (OR per BMI unit: 1.11–1.15). Changes in DM treatment were  significantly associated across time intervals (p = 0.001).  Findings support BMI as a predictor of NODAT and DM  progression post-transplant.},
