Factors influencing changes in bone mineral density in kidney transplant recipients.

Factors influencing changes in bone mineral density (BMD) were examined in 43 stable kidney transplant recipients (24 M, 19 F, 23-68 yrs, creatinine clearance >50 ml/min). Bone mineral density was estimated in the lumbal spine and in the femoral neck using dual energy absorptiometry (DXA) 1-164 months posttransplant. Longer previous dialysis treatment, F sex, menopause, age, the first posttransplant year period are factors negatively influencing the bone.
