Bone disease in kidney transplant: don’t forget about osteomalacia: a case report and literature review
Early recognition of osteomalacia after kidney transplantation and aggressive correction of vitamin D deficiency, phosphate wasting, and hyperparathyroidism can result in rapid symptomatic relief and partial reversal of bone loss. Routine monitoring of mineral metabolism and bone turnover markers should therefore be integrated into post-transplant care to prevent delayed diagnosis. Controlled studies are warranted to define optimal supplementation protocols and thresholds in this population.
