Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Balance in CKD

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, Kidney Failure, Chronic

In brief

Patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis (ESRD5D) are 4-5x more likely to suffer from a fracture. Fractures can occur spontaneously but typically occur after a fall. Further, 70-90% of patients with ESRD5D are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D supplementation has become routine care for many in this patient population, but evidence is lacking to support this practice. The proposed projects objective is to gather needed preliminary data regarding the effects of vitamin D supplementation on balance and muscle strength in patients with ESRD5D.
