February 24, 2015 updated by: Creighton University

Pharmacokinetic Comparison of Vitamin's D2 and D3 in Stage 5 Chronic Kidney

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D responses to a single oral dose of vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 in a group of Stage 5-Chronic Kidney Disease subjects requiring chronic hemodialysis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, single blind, controlled study. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1) placebo capsules (control group); 2) capsules with ergocalciferol (the vitamin D2 group); or 3) capsules with cholecalciferol (the vitamin D3 group).

We will exclude those with pregnancy or planned pregnancy, hypercalcemia (>10.4 mg/dl) previously recorded, chronic GI disease which would interfere with absorption, any allergy to vitamin D3, or chronic vitamin D intake >1,000 IU daily. Subjects will continue to take a calcitriol analogue and phosphorus binder as prescribed by their nephrologist. Calcitriol analogues are to be documented and remain constant throughout study.
