The coming of age is often accompanied by malfunctioning organs. When this happens, physicians would often recommend transplant. However, there are many implications along with this especially with a senior. Transplant patients are susceptible to bone loss according to professionals. Most of the studies were conducted on heart transplant recipients but seems to apply to others as well. The degree of osteoporosis and bone loss, in conjunction with other factors such as severe curvature of the spine of better known by medical practitioners as kyphosis which is caused by multiple fracture of the bones, may render the transplant procedure more difficult and at a higher risk for poor results.

It is good to have multiple recommendations from other doctors before going for the transplant procedure immediately. Another opinion would not hurt especially if it will lead to the betterment of your health.
