Antiproteinuria Effect of Calcitriol in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Vitamin D Deficiency: A Randomized Controlled Study
Vitamin D has been demonstrated to lessen proteinuria severity in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Compared with healthy populations, patients with CKD may have lower serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25-(OH)2 D) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH) D). We investigated the effect of oral low-dose active vitamin D (calcitriol at 0.25 μg, 3 times weekly) on urinary protein excretion.
