Vitamin D in Chronic Kidney Disease

Examines the complex role of Vitamin D within Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its impact on global public health. It outlines how the kidneys and liver collaborate to transform vitamin D into its active hormonal form, a process that becomes severely disrupted as renal function declines. The text emphasizes that CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) arises from this metabolic failure, leading to secondary complications like hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular calcification. Beyond skeletal health, the authors explore pleiotropic effects of vitamin D on immunity, muscle strength, and glucose regulation. Finally, the sources evaluate current therapeutic strategies, including the use of nutritional supplements and synthetic analogs to improve patient survival.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/3319325051?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=110dba213d25786c8cf8d421daa61ce3&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
