Official title
Effects of Active Form of Vitamin D on Renal Blood Flow, Glomerular Filtration Rate, Proteinuria and Inflammation in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Hyperparathyroidism
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Active forms of vitamin D and its analogs are used to treat elevated parathyroid hormone levels and bone disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD). More recent animal and human studies suggest that treatment with vitamin D may be associated with reduction of inflammation and urinary protein loss as well as reduction the activity of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) in addition to its effects on the bone metabolism. The investigators of this study have used the new technique of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) to measure the flow of blood to the kidney in other human studies. In this study, the investigators will investigate if 3 month of treatment with an active form of vitamin D in individuals with kidney disease and high parathyroid hormone levels would reduce protein loss in the urine. The investigators will also look at the potential changes in blood flow to the kidney using CEU, kidney function (GFR), inflammation and activity of RAS in response to treatment with active form of vitamin D. Finally, they will examine the association between reduction of protein loss in the urine as shown in other studies with any of the other factors measured (e.g, change in blood flow or inflammation).
