  • Title: [The present state of vitamin D supplementation or treatment among chronic dialysis patients].
    Author: Suzuki M.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2004 Jan; 14(1):34-8. PubMed ID: 15576951.
    Abstract:
    Because the chronic renal failure state basically means the active vitamin D deficiency, the minimum physiological daily dose of active vitamin D should be supplemented in all of the patients. But few informations about the frequency of vitamin D supplementation or treatment are available in European countries and in the USA. Only the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy presented the frequency of it in 2002, which was about 40 % of the dialysis patients, unexpectedly as same as that in Shinraku-En Hospital in 1985. Hypercalcemia, uncontrollable hyperphosphatemia, low ALP, and low PTH might impair the vitamin D introduction.
