Bone disease, particularly osteoporosis, has emerged as a common and serious
complication of solid organ transplantation. In recent years there have been
real advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of
bone loss, however treatment studies have been relatively sparse and successful
strategies to reduce skeletal morbidity after transplantation remain to be
clearly established. This book provides a unique resource for the many health
professionals involved with transplantation of bone disease, both in terms of
its scientific background and the management of the disease in clinical
practice.
