The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Markers of Inflammation in High-Risk Cardiovascular Patients With Low Levels of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D
The purpose of this study is to determine if vitamin D supplementation changes the results
of certain tests associated with inflammation in the body using an oral, synthetic form of
vitamin D called paricalcitol.
Vitamin D deficiency is common and has been associated with an increased risk of heart
disease. In patients with the combination of kidney disease and heart disease, inflammation
is thought to contribute to a high rate of cardiac events. Less is known about the effects
of vitamin D supplementation on certain tests associated with inflammation in the body.
