Evaluating the Effects of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on the Bones

CKD and the immunosuppressant drugs prescribed for post-transplant patients can affect bone mineral density, which can lead to osteoporosis. Our nephrologists can assess your bones’ response to treatments using a bone scan. We recommend this bone-density testing after the first year after kidney transplant.
