Effects of Cholecalciferol on Osteoprotegerin Levels in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

Summary

Aim: To investigate whether cholecalciferol (4800 U/daily) or placebo for 16 weeks reduces proteins levels associated with vascular calcification (osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, osteocalcin) in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis and 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency.
