VITAMIN D, COVID-19, CKD:
Key Considerations for the Practicing Nephrologist
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)[1]. Diligent efforts need to be taken to mitigate this risk based on key findings emerging from ongoing medical research into severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the potentially deadly disease that it causes.
Increasing evidence in the medical literature indicates that vitamin D may have an important role in decreasing the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 and attenuating severe COVID-19, which may develop after infection. Please explore this website to find an up-to-date collection of research reports that have been published in peer-reviewed journals on vitamin D and its potential impact on COVID-19, along with brief summaries of the key findings that are arising.
This website will be updated frequently, as more studies are published and new data become available.
