Association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetic patients with mild kidney dysfunction

TL;DR: Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are independently associated with prevalent CVD in type 2 diabetic patients with mild kidney dysfunction and remained statistically significant in participants in the lowest estimated GFR tertile after adjustment for potential confounders.

Influence of cholecalciferol supplementation in hemodialysis patients on monocyte subsets: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

TL;DR: Oral cholecalciferol supplementation according to the K/DOQI recommendations normalizes 25(OH)D levels without relevant side effects such as hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia, but beneficial pleiotropic effects on monocyte subset cell counts, T cell differentiation, or cytokine production could not be confirmed at least at the used dosage.

Management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in stages 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: approved treatment options for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with stages 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) are reviewed to review approved treatment options and determine early detection of SHPT is critical for effective treatment.

Direct in vitro evidence of the suppressive effect of cinacalcet HCl on parathyroid hormone secretion in human parathyroid cells with pathologically reduced calcium-sensing receptor levels.

TL;DR: Data from this in vitro analysis support the clinical application of cinacalcet in PHPT and SHPT therapy and demonstrates significant potency in the suppression of PTH secretion in primary cultured human parathyroid cells in vitro, despite reduced levels of the target protein, CaR.

Vitamin D in patients with renal failure: A summary of observational mortality studies and steps moving forward

TL;DR: Two recent large-scale studies of hemodialysis patients are examined: one that demonstrated a survival advantage of paricalcitol over calcitriol, and a second that demonstrates a significant survival advantage in any intravenous Vitamin D formulation versus none.
