Bone Mineral Density of Very Long-term Survivors After Childhood Liver Transplantation

ABSTRACTObjectives:Liver transplant patients are at risk of osteopenia and fractures but limited information is available in long-term survivors after childhood transplantation. This study aimed to assess bone mineral density (BMD) of very long-term, >5 years, survivors after liver transplantation in childhood.Methods:Patients aged 5 years after transplant were potentially eligible but only those with ongoing review in our state were included. Dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure BMD. Patients aged 5 years, survivors after liver transplantation in childhood.
