Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D status and arterial hypertension: a systematic review

Stefan Pilz, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is believed that vitamin D supplementation should be prescribed to patients with hypertension and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels below target values, in view of the relatively safe and inexpensive way in which vitamin D can be supplemented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D and mortality: Individual participant data meta-analysis of standardized 25-hydroxyvitamin D in 26916 individuals from a European consortium

Martin Gaksch, +47 more
- 16 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: An association between low 25(OH)D and increased risk of all-cause mortality is observed and it is of public health interest to evaluate whether treatment of vitamin D deficiency prevents premature deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D, cardiovascular disease and mortality

Stefan Pilz, +13 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: Despite accumulating data suggesting that a sufficient vitamin D status may protect against CVD, it is still must wait for results of large‐scale RCTs before raising general recommendations for vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease prevention

Stefan Pilz, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: Current available evidence does not support cardiovascular benefits or harms of vitamin D supplementation with the commonly used doses, and whether vitamin D has cardiovascular effects in individuals with overt vitamin D deficiency remains to be evaluated.
