Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of fractures. This prospective observational
study investigated whether areal bone mineral density (aBMD) as assessed by dual-energy …

Background. Renal transplantation triggers an early bone loss that increases the
subsequent risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Little is known about the long-term outcome …

Osteoporosis is known to occur in patients with kidney transplants, but limited information is
available about the prevalence and causes of this complication. We asked all 330 patients …

Organ transplantation is associated with an early bone loss that subsequently increases the
risk of osteopenia and bone fractures. It is not known whether bone loss continues in long …

Kidney transplant recipients have multiple factors leading to osteoporosis. The purpose of
this study was to determine the fracture rate after kidney transplantation and the significance …

Background: Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) are at high risk of renal
osteodystrophy. Our study aimed to identify predictors of bone mass and cumulative fracture …

Background It remains uncertain whether kidney transplant recipients are a high-risk group
for fracture. Methods We conducted a cohort study using Ontario, Canada health care …

Kidney transplant recipients are exposed to multiple factors that lead to osteoporosis after
kidney transplantation. Recent short-term longitudinal studies revealed a strong decline of …

Background Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are at increased risk for bone loss.
Determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) in an unselected KTR population have not …

Renal transplant patients have a high prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis and fractures.
The aim of the study was to investigate whether dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is of …
