  • Overview Kidney and vitamin D which had the following summary May 2012

    • FACT: Kidney is one of the 2 ways that vitamin D is turned into something that body can use; active vitamin D = Calcitriol
    • FACT: When the Kidney has problems, there is less Calcitriol available in the body
    • FACT: When the Kidney has problems, there is increased death due to many factors - many of which are associated with lack of Calcitriol
    • FACT: There are many on-going intervention clinical trials trying to determine how much of what kind of vitamin D is needed to correct the problem
    • FACT: Vitamin D intervention has yet been proven to help health of people with kidney problems - with random controlled trials
    • FACT: Taking extra Vitamin D, in various forms, does not cause health problems - even for those with poor kidneys
    • Suggestion: Increase vitamin D getting into body now - and increase co-factors so that the vitamin D can be better used
