Open-Label Trial: Effect of Weekly Risedronate Immediately After Transplantation in Kidney Recipients

Abstract

Weekly oral administration of risedronate immediately after renal transplantation contributes to an improved BMD, particularly in the femoral neck at 6-month follow-up, without major side effects. Long-term follow-up is needed to establish whether oral risedronate has an influence on vascular calcifications and bone fractures.
