Forty diabetics who had developed end-stage renal failure from diabetic nephropathy and underwent renal transplantation have been followed up from one to six years. After one and two years 63% and 42% survived (45% and 33% respectively with functioning kidneys). Older patients, those with coronary and peripheral vascular disease, and those with severe neuropathy are prone to higher postoperative morbidity and mortality. The presence of advanced retinopathy, on the other hand, does not appear to influence the outcome.
40例因糖尿病肾病发展至终末期肾衰竭并接受肾移植的糖尿病患者已被随访1至6年。1年和2年后的生存率分别为63%和42%（有功能肾者分别为45%和33%）。老年患者、患有冠状动脉和外周血管疾病的患者以及患有严重神经病变的患者术后发病率和死亡率较高。另一方面，晚期视网膜病变的存在似乎并不影响预后。
