Early steroid withdrawal has a positive effect on bone in kidney transplant recipients: a propensity score study with inverse probability-of-treatment weighting

Early steroid withdrawal has a positive effect on bone in kidney transplant recipients: a propensity score study with inverse probability-of-treatment weighting

Background: Long-term corticosteroid use after kidney transplantation is associated with a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and a high fracture risk. We hypothesized that patients with early steroid withdrawal (ESW) would display a gain in BMD in the year following kidney transplantation, when...
