Osteopenia, in the form of osteoporosis, is a common complication of chronic cholestatic liver diseases and, although its cause is poorly understood, it appears to be intimately related to the cholestasis itself. With more patients surviving longer with successful liver transplantation, the clinical significance of such osteopenia has increased, and a traumatic fracturing has become a major cause of morbidity in this patient population. Noninvasive diagnosis is easy, and serial measurements allow assessment of disease progression. Although no effective therapy can treat or prevent this complication, supportive measures can improve skeletal well-being, especially in high-risk individuals who are candidates for liver transplantation.
