Body adiposity predictors of vitamin D status in nondialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease: A cross-sectional analysis in a tropical climate city
Vitamin D was sufficient (25[OH]D ≥ 30 ng/dL) in 43% of nondialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Overweight/obesity was observed in most (∼60%) of the nondialyzed patients with CKD. Total body adiposity was the independent predictor of vitamin D deficiency in CKD. Vitamin D deficiency was related with hyperparathyroidism and higher serum phosphorus. Insulin resistance was not independently associated with 25(OH)D concentrations.
