Assessment of Vitamin D Metabolism Disorders in Hemodialysis Patients
Vitamin D3 reserves are lower, and both functional deficiency and impaired catabolism of vitamin D3 are present in HD patients compared to the general population. The VMR index is the most sensitive parameter for vitamin D3 deficiency assessment, highlighting the importance of measuring 24,25(OH)D3. Alphacalcidol supplementation increases 1,25(OH)2D3 levels without affecting other vitamin D metabolites. 25(OH)D2 is the only metabolite that was higher in HD patients than the controls.
