Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of volume status on the progressions of renal disease in normovolemic and hypervolemic patients with advanced non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) who were apparently normovolemic in conventional physical exam­ination. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective interventional study performed in a group of stage 3–5 CKD patients followed up for 1 year. Three measurements were made for volume and renal status for every patient. The fluid status was assessed by a bioimpedance spectroscopy method. A blood pressure (BP) value > 130/80 mm Hg prompted the initiation or dose increment of diuretic treatment in normovolemic patients. Result: Forty-eight patients (48%) were hypervolemic. At the end of the 1-year follow-up, hypervolemic patients were found to have a significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and higher systolic BP compared to baseline. Hypervolemia was associated with an increased incidence of death. Conclusion: We have shown that maintenance of normovolemia with diuretic therapy in normovolemic patients was able to slow down and even improve the progression of renal disease. Volume overload leads to an increased risk for dialysis initiation and a decrease in renal function in advanced CKD. Volume overload exhibits a stronger association with mortality in CKD patients.

Abstract. Background/Aims: Trials on the effects of cholecalciferol supplementation in type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease patients were underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different doses of vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and metabolic parameters in vitamin D-deficient Korean diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: 92 patients completed this study: the placebo group (A, n = 33), the oral cholecalciferol 1,000 IU/day group (B, n = 34), or the single 200,000 IU injection group (C, n = 25, equivalent to 2,000 IU/day). 52% of the patients had less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 of glomerular filtration rates. Laboratory test and pulse wave velocity were performed before and after supplementation. Results: After 12 weeks, serum 25(OH)D concentrations of the patients who received vitamin D supplementation were significantly increased (A, -2.4 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. B, 10.7 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. C, 14.6 ± 1.7 ng/mL; p < 0.001). In addition, the lipid profiles in the vitamin D injection group (C) showed a significant decrease in triglyceride and a rise in HDL cholesterol. However, the other parameters showed no differences. Conclusions: Our data indicated that two different doses and routes of vitamin D administration significantly and safely increased serum 25(OH)D concentrations in vitamin D-deficient diabetes patients with comorbid chronic kidney disease. In the group that received the higher vitamin D dose, the lipid profiles showed significant improvement, but there were no beneficial effects on other metabolic parameters.
