Abstract

Changes in bone health and strength are common after kidney transplantation and can lead to an increased risk of fracture. This has implications for morbidity, mortality and renal allograft survival. This review will focus on the changes that occur in bone health and fracture risk after kidney transplantation and examine the evidence available to guide diagnostic and therapeutic decisions with the aim of fracture prevention.
