Relationship between selection of dosage forms of vitamin D receptor activators and short-term survival of patients on hemodialysis

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the impact of the VDRA dosage form on the short-term survival of incident hemodialysis patients during the introduction period. Our results suggest that relatively early initiation of intravenous VDRA in patients beginning hemodialysis may have some clinical potential.PMID:34787531 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2021.1995423
