When adults lose bone density, a condition commonly referred to as osteopenia, it can be contributed to aging or complications from other medical conditions. In either case, it may be indicative of an increased risk of other associated low-bone density conditions, or even an increased vulnerability to fractures. Saint Luke's uses bone density scans to help monitor overall bone density and manage potential breaks and other conditions associated with lower bone density.

Experts at Saint Luke’s Hospital performed the first liver transplant in Kansas City in 1980, becoming just the third hospital in the U.S. to perform the procedure. Our surgical team includes some of the most experienced physicians in the area.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease of the liver. It occurs when you have too much fat in the liver. If NAFLD is severe, it can cause liver damage that seems like the damage caused by drinking too much alcohol. But NAFLD is not caused by drinking alcohol.
