What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to gather data from liver transplant patients during their initial or follow-up endocrinology visits to assess bone mineral metabolism. It will include both retrospective and prospective data collection at the UO Endocrinology department of Policlinico S. Orsola-Malpighi. The study will evaluate the bone health of patients who have undergone liver transplantation, focusing on factors related to osteoporosis and mineral metabolism.
