Relation of testosterone level and other factors with bone mineral density in male kidney transplant recipients: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Although testosterone has a pivotal role in bone health, its correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) is understudied in kidney transplant recipients who are at high risk of osteoporosis. This study aimed to elucidate if there is any correlation between serum free testosterone and BMD in this population.

Patients And Methods: Sixty male kidney transplant recipients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and they were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations (including total and free testosterone).
