Kidney transplant drug linked to diabetes risk — study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT06833463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some kidney transplant patients develop blood sugar problems like diabetes. It focuses on how the body processes the drug tacrolimus, which helps protect the new kidney but can also raise blood sugar. Researchers will follow 120 adults in Poland to find out which factors increase the risk of diabetes after transplant.
