Risk factors for fractures in renal transplantation: a population-based cohort study.

We recommend minimizing daily glucocorticoids as early and as far as possible in conjunction with immunosuppressive regimens such as tacrolimus, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenolic acid, mTOR inhibitors and calcium supplements, especially in older female recipients, and in recipients with diabetes and a history of prior fractures.
