Abstract
With the recovery of the excretory and endocrine renal functions after successful Renal Transplantation (RT), renal bone disease also tends to disappear. Nonetheless, several new biochemical changes to the calcium-phosphorus metabolism (e.g. hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia) may appear while bone histology may remain altered or show new lesions. Apart from scattered reports in the literature, the new bone remodelling that invariably occurs after RT has not been sufficiently investigated, above all as a possible source of overt clinical bone disease.
