No. I had a liver transplant. The endocrinologist had me take one prior to starting the Alendronate and then after three months on it. It’s to monitor creatinine and calcium levels. Alendronate can impact kidneys and it can lower your calcium levels.

Good to know! Thanks again @athenalee 🙂 Then, I assume some additional 24 hour urine tests are in my future too if my doc recommends Fosamax! I am not sure what the osteoporosis treatment of choice is going to be for kidney transplant patients.
