Abstract

Mineral and bone disease in the posttransplantation patient is common and requires thorough evaluation for appropriate management. This includes secondary renal osteodystrophy, rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and osteonecrosis. Biochemical markers along with imaging and bone biopsy help to establish the diagnosis and treatment planning.
