Moreover, the incidence rate of post-liver transplantation diabetes mellitus （PTDM） also appears to be higher among patients wibh HCM infection. PTDM is often assodated with direct viral infection, autoimmune disorders, and immunosuppressive regimen. Activation of tumor necrosis factor-α may be the link between HCV infection and diabetes. In this article, we reviewed the epidemiologic association between HCV infection and PTDM, highlighting the most recent pathophysiologic insights into the mechanisms underlying this association.展开更多
