The sample of 45 recipients (30 females and 15 males) after orthotopic transplantation of liver was examined thrice in dynamics. Three groups were formed according the resulted values of T-criterion of bone mineral density in the area of lumbar vertebrae. The bone mineral density of group A was considered as osteoporosis, of group B as osteopenia and of group C as physiologic norm. In early period (1-4 months) after orthotopic transplantation of liver gross disorders of bone metabolism were established in all recipients independently of the degree of bone mass loss. In distant period (up to 32 months) after orthotopic transplantation of liver the bone losses decreased entailing full normalization of bone metabolism in 37% of recipients with osteoporosis, 82% with osteopenia and 91% with normal bone mineral density.
