“…Osteoporosisa disease that show reduction in bone mass, micro architectural disruption, and enhanced skeletal fragility, with subsequent low bone strength and high rates of fracture (5) . After renal transplantation, there are changes in the normal bone remodeling system which will lead to more accelerated osteoporotic changes compared to normal individuals, while for transplantation-related bone loss results from both an increase in the rate of resorption and a decrease in the rate of bone formation (6) .The current work aimed to investigate the incidence of osteoporosis in post kidney transplant patients when compared to the general population, and study the relationship between post kidney transplant immunosuppression therapy and osteoporosis and determine some biochemical changes. Also to evaluate the bone mass by using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and the possible correlation between demographic data and the development of osteoporosis .…”
