Seasonal variation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients with chronic renal failure treated by regular haemodialysis. 1977

D B Cook, and A M Pierides, and G Shannan

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was measured by a competitive protein-binding assay in 44 normal subjects, 60 uraemic patients on regular haemodialysis at different times of the year and in 13 non-dialyzed uraemic patients. The results obtained indicate that uraemic patients on regular haemodialysis have a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration comparable to controls and that they also exhibit a seasonal variation with a significant reduction during the winter months. However, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration remained essentially within the normal range and did not reflect the increased incidence of osteomalacia in these patients. In the 13 non-dialyzed uraemic patients, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were lower than in the dialyzed patients, but the explanation is not yet clear. This reduction in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was not accompanied by any osteomalacia. The results indicate that deficiency of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in our patients on regular haemodialysis is uncommon and clearly not the explanation of dialysis osteomalacia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
