These studies were performed to see if jejunal malabsorption of magnesium in patients with chronic renal disease was influenced by therapy with 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3; 2 microgram/day by mouth for 7 days]. This treatment restored normal serum concentrations of the vitamin D metabolite from 0.9 +/- 0.2 to 4.2 +/- 0.6 ng/dl. Jejunal absorption of magnesium, measured by a triple-lumen constant-perfusion technique, was enhanced in each of the seven patients by this therapy. The mean value rose from 0.04 +/- 0.02 to 0.13 +/- 0.02 mmol . 30 cm-1 . h-1. This last value is similar to the magnesium absorption rate in untreated normal subjects. These results demonstrate that magnesium absorption in the human jejunum is dependent on vitamin D, and they show that 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 therapy in patients with chronic renal failure is associated with an enhanced jejunal absorption of magnesium.

Abstract Background and Aims 25(OH)D3 levels are known to be lower in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD). Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to have beneficial effects on mortality in these patients. In our study, we have evaluated the pleiotropic effect of vitamin D on thrombocyte markers, which is known very little by most. Method The main thrombocyte function markers (MPV, PDW and PCT) were obtained in patients which underwent dialysis, renal transplantation and patients with grade 3-4 CRD before and after vitamin D supplementation. 40 healthy individuals were chosen as control group and 24 patients underwent renal transplantation, 25 patients underwent dialysis for at least 3 months, 32 patients were diagnosed as Grade 3-4 CRD. All of the patients above had 25(OH)D3 levels <20ng/mL (<50nmol/L). Thrombocyte markers were evaluated before and after vitamin D supplementation (which was given 50.000 IU orally once a week for 8 weeks). Results Statistically no significant difference were found between MPV values in- and across- group comparison before and after vitamin D supplementation. After the correlation analyses were reviewed, statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,422 p<0.05) between ΔMPV and ΔVitamin D in renal transplantation group. Also statistically significant positive correlation was found between ΔPDW and ΔVitamin D. In the control group with healty participants, a statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,493 p<0.05) between ΔVitamin D and ΔThrombocyte count. In the dialysis group a statistically significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,422 p<0.05) between ΔVitamin D and ΔMPV. Conclusion A significant correlation was found particularly between Vitamin D and MPV in dialysis and renal transplantation patients. In order to prevent cardiovascular events due to thrombosis caused by Vitamin D deficiency which increases MPV, it has been thought that Vitamin D supplementation and antiaggregant therapy might be beneficial.

According to current conception, the process of forming of nephrosclerosis despite the origins is detected by the force of the same cellular and molecular mechanisms. Hence primary triggers cause elevated production of range of cellular response mediators, cytokines and growth factors such as transforming plateled-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, interferon gamma, nuclear factor and others, by means of sequential processes, is followed by the replacement of kidney tissue. One of the most studied aspects of the process of nephrosclerosis is the influence of anginotensin II. Therefore, despite the triggering factors, development and progression of nephrosclerosis all children with chronic renal disease are in a risk group with predisposition for renal insufficiency and it is required to prescribe nephroprotective therapy, i.e. the drugs that will influence one of the links of the nephrosclerosis, in order to slow down its progression. Currently, with nephroprotective goal in early age are used the following elements - angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptors, antogonists (blockers). Lately, the active search for effective and safe drugs with nephroprotective effect on one side and great interest towards undiscovered before qualities of Vitamin D caused a huge amount of works that support the effect of Vitamin D. Prescription of Vitamin D to animals with uremia was followed by the drop of apoptosis of podocides and loss of the protein that is contained in the split diaphragm that caused decrease in proteinuria. Vitamin D suppresses protophibrotic TGF-B1 in tubular epithelial cells. The regression of tubulointerstitial phibrosis under the influence of Vitamin D was confirmed based on the cases of animals with obstruction of urethra. Along with the use of the mentioned above groups of drugs, which effectiveness was proved experimentally and clinically, we strongly believe the more thorough study of the Vitamin D drug use is needed, especially to study the prevention and slowing down of the progression of nephrosclerosis in the cases of children with chronic renal disease. It is crucial to detect the exact dosage of the drug, the prescription period and the methods for the control of the effective concentration of the drug.
