Article Description

Genetic polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In addition, a close association has been reported between RAS and the progression of both diabetes and hypertension. But the role of RAS on the development of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is not known. For this purpose we investigated the association of polymorphisms in the genes for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensinogen (AGT) with the development of PTDM.
