“…An interventional study found that preterm infants showed no calcemic response to short courses of supraphysiological doses of calcitriol (0.1-3.0 g/kg), which suggests that the preterm intestines are refractory to calcitriol (708). For perspective, the adult requirement in hypoparathyroidism is typically a total daily dose of 0.25-1.0 g. A second interventional study used 4.0 g/kg of calcitriol administered intravenously for three consecutive days and found a significant increase in serum calcium (325). However, that effect was not the result of an alteration in intestinal calcium absorption but likely reflected an increase in bone resorption: oral intake was minimal, osteocalcin increased significantly, and urine calcium/ creatinine ratio did not change (325).…”
