Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Objectives: Liver transplant patients are at risk of osteopenia and fractures but limited information is available in long‐term survivors after childhood transplantation. This study aimed to assess bone mineral density (BMD) of very long‐term, >5 years, survivors after liver transplantation in childhood. Methods: Patients aged 5 years after transplant were potentially eligible but only those with ongoing review in our state were included. Dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure BMD. Patients aged
