Body composition, adipokines, FGF23-Klotho and bone in kidney transplantation: Is there a link?

CONCLUSIONS: Age, PTH, time on dialysis and lean mass are among the main bone density predictors in long-standing KT patients. The bone impact of adipokine dysregulation and of α-Klotho merits further investigations in KT-MBD. Preserving lean mass for improved bone outcomes should be part of KT-MBD management on the long-term.
