Background: A lot of complications occur after liver transplantation including diabetes and hypertension.Aim: Evaluation of the overall prevalence of the diabetes and hypertension and identification of the predictors for posttransplant diabetes and hypertension.Methods: Our study is retrospective. We collected the data of the patients from the database of the patients in the liver transplant unit. Results: Incidence of new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) was 25% and incidence posttransplantation hypertension was 20%. No predictors were found for NODAT. Predictors of posttransplantation hypertension were BMI and using Cyclosporine. Conclusion: DM and HTN are common after liver transplantation. Predictors of posttransplant hypertension are high BMI and using cyclosporine.
