New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a common complication following kidney transplantation and is associated with adverse patient and graft outcomes. This Review discusses the current understanding of the risk factors associated with NODAT and transplant-associated hyperglycemia. The authors suggest that a dynamic approach to the surveillance and attenuation of transplantation-associated hyperglycemia may help to improve the outcomes of patients with NODAT.
