ABSTRACT
Metabolism of 25-[3H]hydroxyvitamin D3 was studied in peritoneal macrophages from renal failure patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Cells from 5 out of 8 patients with a history of peritonitis produced significant amounts of a metabolite chromatographically identical to 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3; but none was produced by cells from non-infected patients. The evidence strongly suggests that peritoneal macrophages stimulated by infection can metabolise 25OHD3 to the active vitamin D3 metabolite, 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3, when maintained in short-term primary culture.
