Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate
treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary (THPT) renal hyperparathyroidism. Background …

Improved survival following organ transplantation has brought to the forefront some long‐
term complications, among which osteoporosis and associated fractures are the major ones …

Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease, causing increased skeletal fragility
characterized by a low bone mass and trabecular microarchitectural deterioration …

We conducted an open-label, prospective, randomized trial to assess the efficacy and safety
of RANKL inhibition with denosumab to prevent the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) in …

Abstract Introduction: Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at an increased risk of
fractures. Total urinary hydroxyproline excretion served as marker for bone resorption (BR) …

Bone health is assessed by bone mineral density (BMD). Other techniques such as
trabecular bone score and microindentation could improve the risk of fracture's estimation …

Background Osteoporosis and fractures increase morbidity and mortality rates after solid
organ transplantation (SOT), but few studies have analyzed the risk of osteoporosis and …

Background Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry is
used to assess bone health in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Trabecular bone score …

Patients with CKD are at increased risk for cardiovascular events, hospitalizations, and
mortality. Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney …

Results Before transplantation, intima media thickness in patients with stage 5 CKD on
dialysis (average= 0.9±0.2 mm) was higher (P< 0.001) than in well matched healthy controls …
