Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Renal Function, Inflammation and Glycemic Control in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusion: In patients with DN, VD supplementation provides beneficial effects on 24-hour urine protein and inflammation indexes, but not on SCr, eGFR or glycemic control indexes. More RCTs that comprehensively evaluate the impact of VD supplementation on indexes of renal function, inflammation and glycemic control in DN atients are required in order to reach conclusive results.Kidney Blood Press Res 2019;44:72 –87
