AB  - Renal  failure  is  associated  with  multiple  metabolic  changes  in  the  bones  resulting  in  deterioration  of  bone  mass  and  bone  quality.1,2  Although  renal  transplant  improves  the  quality  of  life  for  recipients,  these  changes  in  bone  health  are  associated  with  a  high  risk  of  fracture,  at  least  during  the  first  year  posttransplant.3,4  The  purpose  of  this  review  is  to  discuss  the  significance  of  mineral  and  bone  disease  in  patients  with  chronic  kidney  disease,  with  a  special  emphasis  on  posttransplant  osteoporosis.  The  prevalence  of  osteoporosis  in  posttransplant  patients  is  estimated  to  be  close  to  30%.  Furthermore,  it  has  been  shown  that  hip  fracture  in  posttransplant  patients  is  independently  associated  with  a  3-fold  increase  in  mortality.  Transplant-related  osteoporosis  and  fractures  are  related  to  both  pre-  and  posttransplant  risk  factors  (Table  28-1).
