The majority of kidney transplant recipients, including patients with osteoporosis, have normal bone turnover at 1-year post-transplant. Low bone turnover is seen in a substantial subset, while high bone turnover is rare. Vitamin D deficiency and hypophosphataemia represent potential interventional targets to improve bone health post-transplant.
