Abstract
Vitamin D levels may be able to predict early kidney disease Researchers found that those who were deficient in vitamin D were more than twice as likely to develope albuminuria over a period of time. Albuminuria is an early indication of kidney damage as healthy kidneys capture protein for use in the body.There have been a number of studies establishing a relationship between vitamin D levels and kidney disease.It is unknown if vitamin D levels are a cause or condition of kidney damage. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration < 10 ng/mL and 10–30 ng/mL, respectively.25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were significantly lower according to severity of renal impairment The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency was from CKD stage 3a, 3b, 4 and 5; 66.6%, 70.9%, 74.6%, and 84.7% (p<0.001)respectively. This study demonstrates that 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are more common and associated with the level of kidney function in Indian population In summary, the present data indicate a high prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in Indian patients with moderate and severe CKD not on dialysis.25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency is strongly and independently associated with CKD.
