Impaired 24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Production in Anephric Human and Pig

Abstract: A B S T R A C T Plasma progressively rose from 12±4 nglml on day 0 to 705±62 ng/ml on day 10. The 25-OHD3 concentrations in normal pigs rose from 8±2 ng/ml on day 0 to 439±64 ng/ml on day 10. Plasma 25-OHD3 was higher in anephrics throughout the experiment, and concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) on days 9 and 10. Plasma 24,25-(OH)2D3 concentrations declined progressively in anephric pigs from 3.6+0.6 ng/ml on day 0 to 3.2+0.7 ng/ml on day 2.

“…First, our suggestion that lower quantities of 1a,25(OH) 2 D 3 and 24,25(OH) 2 D 3 represent decreased production of these metabolites in CKD is based on the premise that circulating levels of these compounds (1) are primarily of renal origin and (2) are determined primarily by rates of synthesis, not degradation or deposition in extravascular sites. It remains possible that nonrenal systems may be involved in this response to vitamin D therapy (2), as suggested by prior studies showing that anephric pigs retain the ability to generate 24,25(OH) 2 D 3 in response to cholecalciferol (39). Second, the use of metabolic ratios to assess in vivo 1a-hydroxylase and 24-hydroxylase activity is a newer concept that needs further validation.…”

“…As regards 24,25(OH)2D, previous results in anephric subjects were conflicting. Values were reported as being either low (5,(18)(19)(20) or undetectable (20,21 (20). The failure to demonstrate detectable serum values in previous studies may be due to differences in methods, including sensitivity and accuracy of the binding assays and recovery after extraction and purification of serum samples (5).…”

“…Inter-and intraassay coefficients of variation for this assay are 11 and 9%, respectively. The 24,25(OH)2D3 fraction from the two MPorosil columns was further chromatographed on a Zorbax-Sil column with a solvent system of isopropanol/dichloromethane (2:98) and a flow rate of 2 ml/min (19). 24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 was quantitated using a competitive protein binding assay based on vitamin D deficient rat serum as previously described (16).…”
