Bone involvement in young adults with cystic fibrosis awaiting lung transplantation for end-stage respiratory failure

ConclusionsDespite the improvement of CF care, CFBD is still highly prevalent in young adults awaiting lung transplantation for end-stage CF. Suboptimal 25OHVitD levels could significantly contribute to the development of CFBD. The presence of nephrolithiasis could be an additional warning about the need for a careful evaluation of bone health in CF patients.
