Effect of Different Vitamin D Preparations on Circulating FGF23 Levels in Vitamin D Deficient Caucasian and African-American Men and Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ergocalciferol and Calcitriol for Vitamin D Deficiency. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a new hormone which controls phosphate and vitamin D levels in humans. Excess FGF23 is associated with an increased risk of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. In this study the investigators are investigating the effects of different forms of vitamin D on FGF23 levels in the blood in order to increase our understanding of how this important hormone works.
