Trend of Vitamin D deficiency in Chronic Kidney Disease patients

Abstract

Introduction: Patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) commonly have a high frequency of anomalies in their metabolite levels. Patients with a decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) are more prone to experiencing severe vitamin D insufficiency in comparison to those with regular renal function. The aim of present study was to examine the correlation between vitamin D levels and disease severity among CKD patients at a tertiary care hospital.
