ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with kidney disease and many patients receive vitamin D supplementation. Several large, well-designed clinical trials have been published in the last few years evaluating the effects of vitamin D supplementation on important outcomes for patients with kidney disease including effects on cardiovascular disease, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and kidney disease progression. RECENT FINDINGS:
Several negative trials have been published showing no effect of cholecalciferol supplementation on cardiovascular events, kidney disease progression, and albuminuria. Long-term supplementation does not appear to be associated with kidney stone disease. Vitamin D supplementation decreases parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and high levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be required for maximal suppression.SUMMARY:
There appear to be no effects of vitamin D supplementation on noncalcemic outcomes including progression of kidney disease, albuminuria, or cardiovascular disease. The primary reason to use vitamin D in kidney disease remains to lower PTH levels.
