Vitamin D
macrophage from becoming M2 macrophage which causes only type 1 cytokines to be

• Increased IL-6, TNFα, CRP, and fibrinogen exacerbate disease severity which inhibits

System in
CKD?5
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)1
• PTH upregulates CYP27B1 and is released when calcium levels are low
• Serum 25(OH)D levels are low in CKD patients so 1,25(OH)2D cannot be made and PTH
levels increase
• High levels of PTH cause secondary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia.
PTH study: Alvarez JA, Law J, Coakley KE, et al. 2012
• Objective: To determine whether high-dose cholecalciferol supplementation for 1 y in early
CKD is sufficient to maintain optimal vitamin D status (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D
[25(OH)D] concentration ≥30 ng/mL) and decrease serum parathyroid hormone (PTH)
• Methods: vitamin D group was given 50,000 IU/wk for 12 wk followed by 50,000 IU every
other week for 40 wk
Found that PTH levels decreased in the Vitamin
Found that Vitamin D insufficiency D group more than the placebo group
decreased as Vitamin D was
supplemented vs the placebo group
Importance of Vitamin D in CKD patients7,4
• Decreased levels in CKD are common due to Vitamin D deficiency causes
anorexia or inadequate diet
