In a study, researchers from India and the U.K. have found that calcitriol, the most active biological form of vitamin D, can be used to treat mineral bone disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. The study was published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
In sum, supplementing with cholecalciferol can improve vitamin D deficiency in patients with CKD by lowering intact parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers.
