Transplant recipients face high osteoporosis and fracture risks. This review covers epidemiology, causes, and management strategies for transplantation-related bone disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Hepatology
  • Pulmonology
  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Osteoporosis is a common complication following organ transplantation.
  • Improved transplant recipient survival has highlighted this issue.
  • Despite increased recognition, fracture rates remain high.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology of transplantation-related osteoporosis.
  • To discuss factors contributing to its pathogenesis.
  • To outline evaluation, prevention, and treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current evidence.
  • Epidemiological data analysis.

  • Pathogenesis factor identification.

    • Main Results:

    • Transplantation-related osteoporosis affects kidney, liver, lung, and heart recipients.
    • Key contributing factors include medication side effects and underlying disease.
    • While progress has been made, fracture risk reduction is ongoing.

    Conclusions:

    • Transplantation-related osteoporosis requires continued attention and management.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for prevention and treatment.
    • Further research is needed to optimize bone health in transplant populations.
