Study objective: Osteoporosis and/or fractures have been reported as a complication of kidney, heart, liver, bane marrow, and, most recently, lung transplantation (LTx). We measured bone mineral density (BMD) before and after LTx to determine the frequency and severity of preoperative and postoperative osteoporosis.Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of BMD in 100 patients with various diagnoses before (n=55) and after (n=45) LTx.Results: Age-matched mean spine and femoral BMDs were severely depressed before and after LTx placing 45% of the pre-LTx and 73% of the post-LTx patients at or below the fracture threshold (2 SDs below the mean). As expected, patients with cystic fibrosis had lower (p
