Abstract

Solid organ transplants and stem cell transplants are becoming more common but a significant proportion of patients are still on waiting lists, awaiting transplants. When endocrinologists treat transplant recipients who have underlying endocrine problems, which might include endocrine emergencies, there are special clinical care considerations to be aware of. The stage of the transplant (pre-transplant, early post-transplant, and chronic post-transplant) must be taken into account. Additionally, it's crucial to be knowledgeable about immunosuppressive medications, their typical adverse effects and drug interactions. The review article addresses a number of endocrine and metabolic abnormalities that are reported after transplantation.

Keywords: Endocrine; Metabolic; New onset diabetes after transplant; Transplant.
