The effect of vitamin D and calcium supplementation in pediatric steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome

ConclusionsAlthough supplementation with calcium and vitamin D improved 25(OH)D levels significantly, there was no effect on BMC, BMD or relapse rate over a 6-month follow-up. Occurrence of hypercalciuria mandates caution and appropriate monitoring if using such therapy. Appropriate dosage of vitamin D3 remains uncertain and studies examining biologically active vitamin D may provide answers.
