Beneficial effect of liver transplantation on bone mineral density in small infants with cholestasis

Reports of bone mineral density in children after liver transplantation are few. Eleven cholestatic children were analyzed before and 6 months after liver transplantation. No changes in serum levels of calcium, alkaline phosphates, or 25OHD were observed before versus after LTx. The serum levels of...

Zusammenfassung:Reports of bone mineral density in children after liver transplantation are few. Eleven cholestatic children were analyzed before and 6 months after liver transplantation. No changes in serum levels of calcium, alkaline phosphates, or 25OHD were observed before versus after LTx. The serum levels of phosphorus and 1-25(OH) 2D 3 as well as total bone mass density and Cole index were significantly increased after liver transplantation.
