Osteo diagnosis post kidney transplant. Terrified.
I will celebrate four years Dec 4, 2025 with my kidney transplant. I have been diagnosed with Osteo on my left hip. Drs. are pushing prolia, and I refuse to take Prolia. Would like to know if anyone else has taken any particular Bisphosphonates sp? post kidney transplant with minimal side effects. I also do not have a gallbladder. I will not do an injectable. Thanks for any information.

Is it possible that you can rebuild the bone with exercise, a very specific plan for osteoporosis? I am pre-liver transplant with mild osteoporosis in the left hip and am doing physical therapy to build up. Walking is a fabulous exercise for it, but check with your medical team if it’s not been raised.

How are your calcium and PTH levels? I just had a parathyroidectomy due to elevated pth and calcium leading to two fractures after minor falls. Ten years post transplant.
Good morning from Canada. I'm not a kidney transplant patient. I am a liver transplant patient just celebrating on Saturday October the 11th. My 5th transversary. I tape prolia shots twice a year and have been since my transplant and I have had no issues. I have more issues post covid and flu shots than I do from my prolia and I have actually had an improvement in my bone dispersion since taking it. I'm not a medical doctor. I don't claim to be and I don't play one on TV. I am just a patient. Does everything that my transplant team tells me to do to ensure that my transplanted organ will last as long as possible. Check with your doctor if you're really concerned, talk to your doctor but I don't really see any issue with taking prolia. If it means I don't break a hip and spend 6 months in the hospital and die from pneumonia then hey, that's a good thing
