title: Bone disease, hypophosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism after renal transplantation.
abstract: Long-term survivors after renal transplantation (RT) show: 1) decreased s-phosphorus 2) increased s-PTH 3) no correlation between s-PTH and s-phosphorus 4) increased amount of non-mineralized bone (osteomalacia), inversely correlated to s-phosphorus 5) decreased amount of trabecular bone (osteopenia) in RT patients with aseptic necorsis of bone.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  aseptic necrosis of bone after RT is mainly due to osteoid-induced osteopenia, perhaps aggravated by hypophosphatemic osteomalacia.
