Abstract

Metabolic acidosis is highly prevalent among an unselected cohort of renal transplant patients. A clear association exists between the severity of acidosis and disturbances of mineral metabolism. Thus, persisting acid/base disorders may accentuate bone disease in a setting with other factors predisposing for posttransplant osteopathy.
