TL;DR: Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels were significantly higher and parathyroid hormone levels were lower in treated patients compared to controls one year following transplant, and cholecalciferol treatment significantly increased serum 25- Hydroxy vitamin D and decreased parathyro hormone levels with no adverse effects in 25-Hydroxyitamin D-deficient renal transplant patients.

TL;DR: In non-Afro-American SCD patients, the best method for estimating GFR from serum creatinine is the CKD-EPI equation without adjustment for ethnicity, which is particularly accurate to estimate high GFR values, including glomerular hyperfiltration, and thus should be recommended to screen SCD adult patients at high risk for SCD nephropathy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that daily vitamin D supplementation with moderate doses is safe and cheap and even a small decrease in COVID-19 infections would easily justify this intervention.

TL;DR: CKD and high BP occur frequently in patients with cystinuria and should be routinely screened, and severe damage of renal parenchyma defined as a past history of partial or total nephrectomy, a solitary congenital kidney, or at least one kidney with a size <10 cm in patients aged ≥16 years is found.

TL;DR: Vitamin D insufficiency is highly frequent whereas the currently recommended supplementation doses are not sufficient, and many experts have claimed that the population-based reference values for 25OHD are too low.
