Coexistence of low muscle mass and osteoporosis as a predictor of fragility fractures in long-term kidney transplant recipients

CONCLUSION: Long-term KTRs with the coexistence of LMM and osteoporosis had an independently higher risk of fragility fractures than those without both LMM and osteoporosis. The combination of SMI and osteoporosis definitions can be used to identify KTRs with a high fracture risk.PMID:37699366 | DOI:10.1159/000534019
