Bone mineral metabolism disease, which included persistent hyperparathyroidism, is common after successful kidney transplantation (KT) and is related with negative outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. There is a lack of information about bone mineral metabolism, persistent hyperparathyroidism, and its risk factors in Latin kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). : A retrospective study was conducted in 74 patients aged 18-50 years with evolution of 12 months after KT and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 ml/min; biochemical data of bone mineral metabolism before and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of KT were registered.
