AbstractPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) demonstrate complex mineral metabolism derangements and a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. However, the optimal method of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) repletion is unknown, and trials analysing the comparative efficacy of cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol in this population are lacking. We conducted a randomised clinical trial of cholecalciferol 1250μg (50 000 IU) weekly v. ergocalciferol 1250μg (50 000 IU) weekly for 12 weeks in forty-four non-dialysis-dependent patients with stage 3–5 CKD. The primary outcome was change in total 25(OH)D from baseline to week 12 (immediately after therapy). Secondary analyses included the change in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), D2 and D3 sub-fractions of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D and total 25(OH)D from baseline to week 18 (6 weeks after therapy). Cholecalciferol therapy yielded a greater change in total 25(OH)D (45·0 (sd 16·5) ng/ml) v. ergocalciferol (30·7 (sd 15·3) ng/ml) from baseline to week 12 (P<0·01); this observation partially resulted from a substantial reduction in the 25(OH)D3 sub-fraction with ergocalciferol. However, following cessation of therapy, no statistical difference was observed for total 25(OH)D change from baseline to week 18 between cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol groups (22·4 (sd 12·7) v. 17·6 (sd 8·9) ng/ml, respectively; P=0·17). We observed no significant difference between these therapies with regard to changes in serum PTH or 1,25(OH)2D. Therapy with cholecalciferol, compared with ergocalciferol, is more effective at raising serum 25(OH)D in non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients while active therapy is ongoing. However, levels of 25(OH)D declined substantially in both arms following cessation of therapy, suggesting the need for maintenance therapy to sustain levels.

Background: The presence of chronic kidney disease is greater in African Americans than in non-Hispanic whites. Though there is data to show a relation between endothelial dysfunction and end-stage kidney disease, the relation to mild and moderate chronic kidney disease (particularly in African Americans) is unclear. Methods and Results: Digital arterial tonometry was performed during Exam 2 and 3 of the Jackson Heart Study using the endoPAT2000. Data from digital arterial tonometry included baseline pulse wave amplitude (BPA) as a measure of endothelial tone and reactive hyperemic index (F-RHI) as a measure of endothelial function. For this study, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the MDRD equation. Those participants with eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 were defined as having CKD. Participants with eGFR < 15 ml/min/1.73m2 were excluded from the analysis. Microalbuminuria in this study was defined as a urinary albumin:creatinine ratio ≥ 17mg/g in men and ≥ 25 mg/g in women. We compared the differences in least square means adjusted for age and sex, and adjusted for multiple traditional clinical covariates using a generalized linear model. Results: There were 834 participants in the study population (mean age 58.5 years, 61% women); 87 (10.4%) participants with CKD and 108 (13.0%) with microalbuminuria. In age and sex adjusted samples, we found that both BPA and F-RHI were significantly associated with CKD in the pooled samples. However in multivariable adjusted analysis the relation was no longer significant in either the pooled or sex-specific samples. In the multivariable adusted analysis,BPA was significantly (P=0.036) associated with microalbuminuria in men and F-RHI was weakly significantly (P=0.08) associated with microalbuminuria in women. Conclusion: We found that endothelial dysfunction as measured by digital arterial tonometry is not significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. There is an association of endothelial tone in men and endothelial dysfunction in women with microalbuminuria.
