Opinions are conflicting about the epidemiology of vitamin D deficiency. This population-based study investigated cross-sectionally the associations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) with indices of mineral homeostasis. Study cohort consisted of 979 persons of the Moli-Sani study, both sexes, ages ≥35 years. Data collection included serum calcidiol by different assays, serum calcitriol, serum parathyroid hormone, serum and urine calcium, and phosphorus. Prevalence of mild-to-moderate calcidiol deficiency (10–19 ng/mL) was 36.4% and did not associate with hypocalcemia or hyperparathyroidism. Prevalence of severe calcidiol deficiency (<10 ng/mL) was 16.8% and associated with hyperparathyroidism only (odds ratio = 8.81, 95% confidence interval = 2.4/32.9). Prevalence of calcitriol deficiency (<18 pg/mL) was 3.1% and associated with hypocalcemia (29.1, 7.4/114.5) but not hyperparathyroidism. In ANOVA along concentration strata, lower calcidiol associated with higher parathyroid hormone only (p < 0.001). Lower calcitriol associated with lower serum and urine calcium (p < 0.001) but not with parathyroid hormone. Calcidiol findings were consistent with different calcidiol assays. In the population, mild-to-moderate calcidiol deficiency did not associate with abnormal mineral homeostasis. Severe calcidiol deficiency and calcitriol deficiency associated with different disorders: lower calcidiol associated with hyperparathyroidism whereas lower calcitriol associated with hypocalcemia and low urine calcium.

The effects on general and bone metabolism of femoral neck fracture patients of 0.25 μg α-calcoid given orally twice daily ( n=9) and 25 μg calcitonin given subcutaneously 30 times ( n=10) in 10 weeks were studied against a control ( n=ll). Bone histology and histomorphometry showed non-age related osteoporosis in 30% and osteomalacia in 22% of the patients studied. Impaired serum vitamin D status was found in 47 – 88% of patients, secondary hyperparathyroidism and increased serum parathyroid hormone in 59% and decreased serum calcitonin levels in 69%. On histology, normal findings and non-age related osteoporosis on histology were associated with low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3,1,25- and 24,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3. Very high serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 occurred in fracture patients with osteomalacia. Calcitonin improved calcium balance, reduced osteoporosis and increased the serum 1,25- and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels but had no effect on osteomalacia. Vitamin D reduced osteomalacia, slightly increased the serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentration and decreased serum levels of parathyroid hormone. Both treatments gave a similar slight decrease in serum calcitonin concentrations. A mechanism of action for the treatments is suggested.

IntroductionFamilial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a lifelong, benign, inherited condition caused by inactivating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene. Both FHH and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are characterized by elevated P-calcium, normal or elevated plasma-parathyroid hormone (P-PTH), and typically normal renal function. In PHPT, vitamin D metabolism is typically characterized by low plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), and high plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). In FHH, the vitamin D metabolism is not very well known.ObjectiveTo compare and evaluate plasma 25OHD, 1,25(OH)2D, and PTH in FHH and PHPT.DesignCross-sectional study.MaterialsAbout 66 FHH patients with mutations in the CASR gene, 147 patients with surgically verified PHPT, and 46 controls matched to FHH patients according to age (±5 years), sex, and season. All patients had a P-creatinine <140 μmol/l.MethodsWe measured P-calcium, P-Ca2+, P-albumin, P-creatinine, P-phosphate, P-magnesium, and P-PTH by standard laboratory methods. P-25OHD and P-1,25(OH)2D were measured by RIA or enzyme immunoassay. In FHH, all protein-coding exons in the CASR gene were sequenced and aligned to GenBank reference sequence .ResultsPHPT patients had higher body mass index (2p<0.01), together with higher P-PTH (2p<0.01) and P-1,25(OH)2D (2p<0.01) compared with FHH patients. The groups had similar levels of P-Ca2+ and of P-25OHD. The phenotypic expression of the CASR mutations (as determined by the degree of hypercalcemia) did not influence the levels of P-1,25(OH)2D.ConclusionEven though P-calcium and P-25OHD were comparable, P-1,25(OH)2D and P-PTH differed between FHH and PHPT.

1. Cyclosporin A, an immunosuppressive drug used to treat psoriasis, stimulates renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in rats. 1,25-Dihydroxy vitamin D can also reduce the activity of psoriasis, and in the present study we have examined the possibility that cyclosporin A mediates some of its actions in psoriasis by renal or extra-renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. 2. Treatment of 12 psoriatic patients with cyclosporin A (5 mg day−1 kg−1) for 3 months significantly improved the psoriasis activity and severity index and reduced glomerular filtration rate, but serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels were not changed. However, 1–3 months after stopping cyclosporin A treatment, an increase in the psoriasis activity and severity index score was accompanied by a small, but significant, increase in serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentration. Plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels in rats gavaged with cyclosporin A (15 mg day−1 kg−1 for 2 weeks) were significantly increased compared with controls, but a lower dose of cyclosporin A (2.4 mg day−1 kg−1) had no effect. Renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase activity in rat kidney homogenates was not different between control and cyclosporin A-treated rats. Renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase activity was not detectable in these homogenates. Extra-renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by activated macrophages isolated from the synovial fluid of patients with inflammatory arthritis was reduced after incubation with cyclosporin A (0.1–10 μmol/l) for 30 h or 5 days. 3. It is unlikely that alteration of circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentration is one of the modes of action of cyclosporin A in psoriasis. Since cyclosporin A inhibits 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production by activated synovial fluid macrophages, it is unlikely that cyclosporin A mediates some of its therapeutic actions by local synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D within the psoriatic lesion.

Studies were carried out to compare the effects of parathyroid extract (PTE) on the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25[OH]2D), 25,26-dihydroxy vitamin D (25,26[OH]2D) and cAMP, and the urinary excretion of calcium, phosphorus, and cAMP in two normal adult subjects, and in a girl with vitamin D-dependent rickets. The concentration of 1,25[OH]2D was markedly decreased even when she was receiving a daily dose of 25,000 IU of ergocalciferol. PTE infusion resulted in a prompt and distinct increase in the serum levels and the urinary excretion of cAMP in the patient and control subjects. In the control subjects the serum concentration of 1,25[OH]2D increased after the PTE infusion, whereas there was no response in the patient with vitamin D-dependent rickets. The two other dihydroxylated metabolites of vitamin D showed no consistent response to the PTE infusion in the control subjects or the patient. The patient showed no phosphaturic response to PTE while she was receiving high-dosage ergocalciferol treatment. By contrast, when the patient was re-studied after therapy with lα-hydroxyvitamin D, PTE infusion resulted in an increase in urinary phosphate excretion. These findings might lend support for the notion that 1,25[OH]2D has an effect on tubular phosphate resorption and has a permissive role in the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone. The present findings also confirm that the formation of 1,25[OH]2D is impaired in vitamin D-dependent rickets and indicate that the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-lα-hydroxylase is unresponsive to the stimulatory effect of parathyroid hormone in this condition.

Three patients with clinically different severities of vitamin D-dependent rickets, type II, with alopecia, which is 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-receptor-defect rickets and is particularly resistant to treatment with calciferol analogues, were treated with large doses of lα-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1α-(OH)D3) and 2 g of calcium lactate. Except for the alopecia, all of the abnormalities of patients 1 and 2 were reversed by treatment with 3 µg/kg/d of 1α-(OH)D3, and those of patient 3, who had the severest manifestations, were reversed by treatment with 6 µg/kg/d. The serum 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations of the three patients were low before treatment and those of patients 1 and 2 increased during treatment. These findings suggest that in patients 1 and 2, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase was stimulated via a 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-receptor-mediated system by treatment with 1α-(OH)D3.

Plasma calcium, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D[1,25(OH)2D] and parathyroid hormone (PTH) have been measured in pregnant and newborn Caucasians and Asians. Calcium and 25(OH)D concentrations were lower in Caucasian than in Asian women at all four stages (three trimesters and during labour) of pregnancy. PTH concentrations were greater in Asian than in Caucasian women during the three trimesters, but not at labour, and increased in both groups through pregnancy, without a concomitant change in plasma calcium concentrations. There was a significant inverse correlation between calcium and PTH, as well as 25(OH)D and PTH, concentrations. These data demonstrate the presence of progressive ‘hyperparathyroidism’ during pregnancy in Caucasian and Asian women. The higher PTH concentrations in Asian women may reflect the necessity of maintaining adequate plasma calcium concentrations through PTH-induced osteolysis in the face of vitamin D deficiency. Relative hyperparathyroidism in Asians may contribute to net loss of calcium from the skeleton and osteopenia in Asian women. Calcium, 25(OH)D and l,25(OH)2D concentrations were lower, and those of PTH higher, in Asian newborns compared with Caucasian newborns. Serum 1,25(OH)2D concentrations in the Asian newborn, though lower than respective maternal levels, were comparable with normal adult levels, indicating that 1,25(OH)2D biosynthesis is stimulated in the Asian newborn to compensate for the low serum 25(OH)D concentrations.
