Vitamina D y trasplante hep tico, s lo efectos seos?

Liver transplantation has become a fairly common and successful procedure, and post-transplantation osteoporosis is now a usual complication in these patients. Immuno-suppressive therapy has been involved in this setting. Vitamin D and their related analogs may have a role in the post-transplantation therapy, adding the role of immuno-modulator (mainly in T cells) to their already protective one in bone metabolism. This might not only allow for the possibility of reducing immuno-suppressive doses, but also of reducing instances of transplant rejections.
