Abstract
In addition to bisphosphonates, D-hormones appear to be effective agents in the prevention of post-transplant osteoporosis. In this article studies on D-hormone agents for prevention of post-transplant bone loss are reviewed. Potential reduction in immunosuppressive requirements with D-hormone is an additional consideration. Based upon available evidence, prophylaxis should involve a bisphosphonate, with D-hormone considered as adjunctive or alternative therapy.
