Bone mineral density in pediatric heart transplanted patients: A retrospective single-center study at Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988-2016.

Patients who undergo HT at an age of <20 years have low BMD for chronological age already before HT, but BMD may recover completely within the first 4 years after HT. The results indicate no difference in BMD at 10 years after HT between pediatric and adult patients.
