Plasma 25‐Hydroxycholecalciferol in Chronic Renal Failure

Abstract: Abstract. 47 patients with chronic renal failure were investigated for plasma 25‐hydroxycholecalciferol (25‐OH D3) concentration, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase. 22 patients had chronic haemodialysis twice weekly. There is a highly significant positive coefficient of correlation between calcaemia and 25‐OH D3 plasma concentration. Levels of serum calcium had previously been shown to correlate well with the presence and type of osteodystrophies in chronic renal failure. Since these patients ma… Show more

“…Although our study was limited to a relatively small number of patients in a single geographical location, and thus the study population may not be representative of the overall CKD population, the fact that a high incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been previously reported by others outside the United States suggests that this may indeed be a common finding [13, 14, 17, 18, 20]. Furthermore, a recent study presented in abstract form at the 2003 American Society of Nephrology meeting reported a high incidence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with stage 3 and 4 CKD in the United States [35].…”

“…On the other hand, the coexistence of osteoporosis and osteomalacia in the aged was reported (Mizuno et al, 1974), and the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis still remained to be further elucidated. Bayard et al (1973) reported the decrease of serum 25-OH-D in uremic patients, while Shen et al (1975) reported the increase of serum 25-OH-D in the patients having uremic osteodystrophy. Although we have confirmed in our experiment no significant changes of serum 25-OH-D3 in uremic patients, it is well considerable that nutritive conditions and intake rates of vitamin D in uremic patients have greatly influenced serum 25-OH-D level.…”

“…Some patients on chronic haemodialysis with osteomalacia have low plasma levels of 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol (Bayard, Bec, Ton That & Louvet, 1973) and rats with experimental chronic renal failure have lower 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol levels than their pairfed controls (Russell & Avioli, 1972). In addition, 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol in doses of 6000 to 12000 i.u.…”
