Vitamin D Deficiency in Glomerular Disease
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a variety of adverse health outcomes. Nephrotic patients have very low vitamin D levels, and the underlying mechanisms are not known. Furthermore, approaches to safely and effectively supplement vitamin D in these patients have not been established. The insights gained from this study are necessary to inform subsequent trials of vitamin D therapy to improve outcomes and develop unique supplementation guidelines for children and adults with diseases complicated by nephrotic syndrome.
