@athenalee If you are on prednisone then you do need to be conscious of the possibility of getting osteoporosis. I have it now from having to take prednisone. I'm not sure, but I don't think the other immunosuppressants are a cause of osteoporosis. It is amazing though how many things can be caused by them. I now also have hypertension, sometimes, and high cholesterol which I believe is another side-effect of immunosuppressants.

Hello and thank you. Fortunately not on prednisone...allergic. But, I’ve read that Tacrolimus and other calcineurin inhibitors are linked to osteoporosis, but how seems to be a question. I offer the attached article for the group, as I found it one of the best on post transplant complications.
