Two active forms of vitamin D3, 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha, 25 [OH] 2D3) and 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha, [OH] D3) are widely used for treating osteodystrophy in patients with chronic renal failure. Since the pharmacokinetics of these agents during long-term oral administration are unclear, we measured the circulating concentrations of 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D before and after their long-term oral administration in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. After 12 weeks of treatment with a daily dose of 1 alpha, (OH) D3 (0.5 micrograms), the administration of a single dose (2 micrograms) of 1 alpha, (OH) D3 showed that the area under the curve over 24 h (AUC) was increased significantly compared with day 1 of therapy. In contrast, after the treatment with a daily dose of 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D3 (0.25 micrograms), a single dose of 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D3 (1 microgram) did not exhibit this effect on the AUC. A single dose of each agent produced no significant change in either the peak increment above basal values or the elimination half-time (T 1/2) of circulating plasma 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D. The overall basal concentration of 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D achieved by 1 alpha, (OH) D3 after 12 weeks of administration was cumulative, but this effect was not observed in patients on 1 alpha, 25 (OH) 2D3. These data indicate that the pharmacokinetics of the two forms of active vitamin D3 did not differ as to peak increment and T1/2 except for the AUC, even after long-term dosage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
