Bone loss after liver transplantation

Rate of change in LS BMD after orthotopic liver transplantation in 105 women with primary biliary cholangitis. Most women had a substantial loss of LS BMD (mean rate 18.1 percent per year) at three months. Measurements at 12, 24, and 36 months showed stable BMD with evidence for recovery of bone loss in some women at 12 months.
