Association between vitamin D deficiency and major depression in patients with chronic kidney disease: a cohort study

These findings suggest that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels might be important for mental health in patients with CKD, although randomized trials are needed to confirm whether supplementation can prevent depression in this population.
