Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has not only been associated with bone and muscular complications but also with cancer, cardiovascular diseases, infection, maternal and neonatal complications. There are many causes of vitamin D deficiency including socio-demographic factors, the timing of sun exposure, along with drugs, skin, liver, and kidney diseases. India is closer to the equator so is considered to have a lower risk of Vitamin D deficiency but it is not so, with many studies implicating deficiency even in the general population. There are no studies done on the north-eastern Indian population document on vitamin D levels in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. Aim: To study the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in the pre-dialytic chronic kidney disease. Material and Methods:Observational study was done. 120 CKD patients were included in the study and staging was done according to the MDRD formula. Total 25-OH Vitamin D was measured by the Enzyme Immuno Assay method. Results: 43.33% of the patients in the group were found to have vitamin D deficiency and 26.66% of patients had vitamin D insufficiency. There was a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and stages 4 and 5 CKD. There was not any significant correlation between vitamin D levels with age, sex, body mass index, serum calcium, or albumin. Conclusion:High levels of vitamin D deficiency were seen in the CKD patients of the northeast Indian population. There were statistically significant changes in vitamin D levels and stages 4 and 5 of CKD.

Objective: To determine whether patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without dialysis their stage impacts the native vitamin D levels. Methods: Patients over 18 years with chronic kidney disease stage 2-5 without dialysis treatment. They demographic, anthropometric variables, degree of sun exposure, disease etiology and laboratory variables related to bone and mineral disorders were evaluated. Study analytical cross-sectional prospective. Descriptive statistical methods for quantitative and qualitative are characterized, and analytical correlation between levels of vitamin D statistical laboratory tests related to bone and mineral disorders, sun exposure and ethnicity variables for each stage were characterized. By descriptive statistical methods, quantitative and qualitative variables were characterized, and analytical statistical correlation between levels of vitamin D with laboratory tests related to bone and mineral disorders, sun exposure and ethnicity for each stage were practiced. Results: 331 patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 71 years, the mestizo majority (71%), 173 women, main etiology of CKD hypertensive nephropathy (33.2%). 21.1% of patients had normal levels of vitamin D, 70.1% insufficient, and 8.8% in deficit. Negative correlation was detected between the levels of vitamin 25(OH)D and serum creatinine, phosphorus, calcium x phosphorus product, PTH, proteins in urine 24 hours and BMI. Positive correlation for calcium and albumin. Positive statistical significance between the levels of vitamin 25(OH)D and sun exposure for 3b and 4 stages was found. Conclusions: In patients with CKD is common to detect low levels of vitamin 25(OH)D, which can contribute to the generation of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Objective. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a variety of skeletal and extraskeletal problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among veterans in sunny Louisiana. Methods. Using the VA computerized patient record system, we searched for all 25 (OH) Vitamin D and 1, 25 (OH) vitamin D levels that were measured between 2007 and 2009. The information collected for each patient included age, body mass index, creatinine, history of diabetes and hypertension, and levels of vitamin D and PTH. We determined the number of individuals who were vitamin D insufficient and deficient. Results. Among 2990 studies evaluated, the mean concentration of 25 (OH) D was  ng/mL, and that of 1, 25 (OH) vitamin D was  ng/mL. Among them, only 695 subjects (23%) had normal values, while 889 (30%) had insufficiency, and 1405 (47%) had deficiency. Subjects with diabetes (1041) had significantly () lower levels (21 and 25 ng/mL) of both 25 (OH) and 1,25 (OH) vitamin D compared to subjects without diabetes (23 and 32 ng/mL). Similarly, subjects with chronic kidney disease (1128) had much lower vitamin D levels than subjects without CKD. Among subjects with diabetes, those with chronic kidney disease (512) had much lower levels of both 25 (OH) and 1,25 (OH) vitamin D than with those with normal creatinine levels. Conclusions. We conclude that vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency is highly prevalent in veterans, more so among subjects with diabetes and/or CKD.

Abstract Introduction: The progressive decline in 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in chronic kidney disease (CKD) limits the kidney ability of synthesizing the vitamin. Vitamin D deficiency as defined by KDIGO (25(OH)D <20 ng/mL) is prevalent in CKD patients and associated to oxidative stress (OS). We studied a possible association between vitamin D deficiency and OS in pre-dialysis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 206 CKD patients was carried out. Laboratory tests for 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, inflammatory markers, and OS were added to routine tests including creatinine, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, iPTH, glucose, hemoglobin, uric acid, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was present in 55 CKD patients and normal vitamin D levels were seen in 149 patients. There was a significant association between vitamin D and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGRF). Homocysteine levels were best predicted by eGRF, sex, and age; high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) by staging and BMI; nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) were increased in late disease; leptin was influenced by BMI and higher in women than man; and adiponectin levels were higher in women. Conclusions: OS biomarkers were not correlated with vitamin D deficiency but increased NOx were seen in stages 4-5 CKD patients. Even though a relatively large number of CKD patients was included and a broad number of OS and inflammatory biomarkers were used in this studied we failed to find an association between vitamin D levels and eGRF. More studies are needed to evaluate the influence of vitamin D status in OS in pre-dialysis CKD patients.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is dened as a disease characterized by alterations in either kidney structure or function or both for a minimum of 3 months duration. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of kidney disease in which there is gradual loss of kidney 1 function over a period of months or years. Early on there are typically no symptoms. Later, leg swelling, feeling tired, vomiting, loss of appetite, or 1 confusion may develop. Complications may include heart disease, high blood pressure, bone disease, or anemia. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: Study of Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in patients of chronic kidney diseases. Search for commonest etiology of hypovitaminosis D in CKD. MATERIALAND METHOD: A Cross-sectional study on 100 cases of newly diagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease patients and matched control subjects is undertaken to study the prevalence of Vitamin D deciency in CKD population and correlation between their serum 25-OH-vitamin D level. 100 Patients who are newly diagnosed as CKD are selected after proper initial screening at Midnapore Medical College, Paschim Medinipur. RESULT AND ANALYSIS: Our study showed that in non-dialysis Syndrome the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 25.6620 ± 8.5476. In dialysis the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 10.9476 ± 2.6508. Difference of mean VitD in Dialysis vs Non-Dialysis was statistically signicant (p<0.0001). In eGFR 1 (<15) the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 11.1130 ± 2.9562. In eGFR2 (15-30) the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 24.0750 ± 8.2995. In eGFR3 (31-45) the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 26.8296 ± 7.3646. In eGFR4 (>45) the mean VitD (mean± s.d.) of patients was 36.3167 ± 4.9898. Difference of mean VitDin eGFR was statistically signicant (p<0.0001). SUMMARYAND CONCLUSION: Vitamin-D deciency more pronounced in advanced stages of CKD. Vitamin-D deciency was most prevalent in female gender, younger age group and connective tissue disorder. Vitamin-D deciency was more marked in hemodialysis patients compared to non-dialysis CKD patients.

Objective. This study was designed to evaluate vitamin D status with separate determination of 25-OH D2and 25-OH D3and its relationship to vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and long-term haemodialysis patients (HD).Methods. 45 CKD patients, 103 HD patients, and 25 controls (C) were included. Plasma vitamin D concentrations were determined using chromatography and VDBP in serum and urine in CKD using enzyme immunoassay.Results. Plasma vitamin D levels were lower in CKD (30.16 ± 16.74 ng/mL) and HD (18.85 ± 15.85 ng/mL) versus C (48.72 ± 18.35 ng/mL),P<0.0001. 25-OH D3was the dominant form of vitamin D. Serum VDBP was higher in CKD (273.2 ± 93.8 ug/mL) versus C (222 ± 87.6 ug/mL) and HD (213.8 ± 70.9 ug/mL),P=0.0003. Vitamin D/VDBP ratio was the highest in C and the lowest in HD; however, there was no correlation between vitamin D and VDBP. Urinary concentration of VDBP in CKD (0.25 ± 0.13 ug/mL) correlated with proteinuria(r=0.43,P=0.003).Conclusions. Plasma levels of vitamin D are decreased in CKD patients and especially in HD patients. 25-OH D3was the major form of vitamin D. Despite urinary losses of VDBP, CKD patients had higher serum VDBP concentrations, indicating compensatory enhanced production. Vitamin D binding protein is not involved in vitamin D deficiency.
