Abstract
Advances in immunosuppressive therapy have allowed for enhanced allograft survival in kidney transplantation. With this increasing success of transplantation, however, has come a greater appreciation of subsequent complications, such as bone and mineral disease. In patients with chronic kidney disease who are awaiting transplantation, disorders in mineral metabolism and renal osteodystrophy are an essentially universal finding, and several different pathophysiologic mechanisms are believed to contribute to the development of these disorders.
