摘要
Hypovitaminosis D is a risk factor for transplant-related osteoporosis. Its contribution to severe hypocalcemia in transplant recipients is less well recognized. We present 2 cases to illustrate how risk factors specific to transplant recipients significantly increase the risk of development of severe hypocalcemia, on it background Of unrecognized vitamin D deficiency. Regular surveillance of calcium homeostasis should be incorporated into routine clinical care of transplant recipients. J Heart Lung Transplant 2009;28:93-5.
