Abstract

Our data demonstrate an important bone depletion at each stage KTX. PTH plays a major role in the observed increase in bone turnover, exacerbating the negative effects on the bone on immunosuppressive treatment. Glucocorticosteroid therapy is an important risk factor for osteoporosis in this setting also.
