Abstract 

Reports of bone mineral density in children after liver transplantation are few. Eleven cholestatic children were analyzed before and 6 months after liver transplantation. No changes in serum levels of calcium, alkaline phosphates, or 25OHD were observed before versus after LTx. The serum levels of phosphorus and 1-25(OH)2D3 as well as total bone mass density and Cole index were significantly increased after liver transplantation.
