  Purpose

Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among dialysis patients, and has been associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as increased aortic pulse wave velocity, blood pressure, inflammation, and brain natriuretic peptide. This study will evaluate the effect of 26 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation in patients with end stage renal disease.
