Popis:	Background: Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) are at high risk of renal osteodystrophy. Our study aimed to identify predictors of bone mass and cumulative fracture rate at the time of renal transplantation (RTx). This is important since the patients experience further substantial bone loss the first month post-transplant. Material and methods: Altogether 133 renal transplant patients were examined for bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry shortly after RTx. Results: The patients’Z-scores were significantly lower at the time of RTx compared to the reference population (p
