Trabecular Bone Score Improves Early After Successful Kidney Transplantation Irrespective of Antiresorptive Therapy and Changes in Bone Mineral Density

Treatment with ibandronate or vitamin D and calcium did not affect bone quality as measured by TBS in de novo KTRs, but TBS increased early, irrespective of intervention. Changes in TBS and BMD during the study period were not correlated, indicating that these measurements reflect different aspects of bone integrity. TBS may complement BMD assessment in identifying KTRs with a high fracture risk.
