Reviewer 2 Report

In general, a good paper, without significant faults. The authors addressed the subject in a proper way. The article is well-written and clear. The conclusions are accurate. Musculosceletal disturbances are quite common in the population of renal transplant recipients, and may be caused by numerous causes (calcium/phopspate disturbances during chronic kidney disease, immunosuppression, etc.). I think there is no novelty for the readers familiar with the subject in the article; however, the paper summarizes the evidence on the subject. 
There are no mistakes in the article that should be corrected, but I feel the language can be improved to simplify reading and understanding of the text; I suggest a professional English editing service.
