bone loss is rapid in the first months after kidney transplant, mainly related to glucocorticoid therapy and perhaps because of persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, it remains unclear whether or not reduced bone density is a common feature in long-term survivors to renal transplant. Objective: to evaluate bone mass status in longterm survivors renal transplant recipients (>12 months). survivors renal transplant recipients (>12 months). survivors renal transplant recipients (>12 months).
