Bone density, microarchitecture, and material strength in chronic kidney disease patients at the time of kidney transplantation

ConclusionsESRD patients undergoing transplant surgery have damaged bone health parameters (density, microarchitecture, and mechanical properties) despite acceptably controlled hyperparathyroidism. Detecting these abnormalities may assist in identifying patients at high risk of post-transplantation fractures.
