Fracture incidence and mortality in kidney transplant recipients compared with waitlisted dialysis patients: A single-center retrospective analysis.

Key takeaways

This study compared broken bones in 504 people who received a kidney transplant with 423 people on dialysis who were waiting for one, all at a single hospital. It also asked whether having a fracture was linked to a higher chance of dying in each group. Records were reviewed after the fact, so this shows a link, not proof of cause: transplant patients and dialysis patients differ in many ways besides their treatment. The actual fracture and death numbers were not included in the abstract text received here.
