25-OH vitamin D threshold for optimal bone mineral density in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD), decreased muscle strength, and increased hip fracture risk. Guidelines have suggested targeting 25-OH vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels between 20 and 30 ng/ml. However, vit...
