@rarelybees2889, Osteopenia is my diagnosis.
I am advised to get enough calcium thru diet and with supplementalcalcium/vitamin D. Also weight bearing exercises are important. Part of my routine post transplant care is a bone density scan every 2 years (due to the effect of prior liver failure and my immunosuppressant medications). I have remained at a steady/slightly improved status for 11 years. I am also an active and healthy 71 yr old.
