The patients received a high-dose vitamin D supplement or placebo at the beginning of the study and after 8 weeks. Among others, blood vessel function and several substances in the blood were measured. After 16 weeks, the measured parameters improved significantly in patients who received the vitamin D supplement, unlike patients in the placebo group. Conclusion: Vitamin D can improve vascular function in patients with chronic kidney disease and vitamin D deficiency.
