This study is tracking how liver transplant surgery affects bone health in adults with chronic liver disease. Researchers will measure bone density using a special scan called a DEXA scan before your transplant and again at 3 and 6 months after surgery to understand how bones change during recovery.
People with chronic liver disease often have weak bones before transplant, and bone weakness can get worse in the first year after surgery, leading to fractures. This study aims to understand exactly how and why this happens so doctors can better protect patients' bone health after transplant.

You will have a bone density scan (DEXA scan) before your scheduled liver transplant surgery. After your transplant, you will return for follow-up bone density scans at 3 months and 6 months post-surgery. Researchers will also collect information from your medical records about your hospital stay, recovery, and other health factors to understand what affects bone health after transplant.
