Inflammation is a strong predictor of increased morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Paricalcitol, a selective vitamin D receptor activator used for prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism, has shown anti-inflammatory properties in experimental studies, although clinical data are

The vitamin D hormone, [1,25(OH) 2D, calcitriol], inhibits proliferation and angiogenesis in breast cancer but its therapeutic use is limited by hypercalcemia. Synthetic analogs of 1,25(OH) 2D that are less calcemic, such as paricalcitol (19-nor-1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D 2), are used to

Systemic infusions of ANG II rapidly induce large, dynamic increases in the permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) in rats. After binding to its receptor(s), ANG II generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and produces Ca²⁺ influx into cells, leading

Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality are significantly higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineral metabolism disorders, such as hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and vitamin D deficiency, have been deeply associated not only with bone disease, but also with vascular calcification
