The Association of Vitamin D With Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Albuminuria: 5th Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2011–2012
The kidney plays a key role in the metabolism of vitamin D. However, the relationship between GFR and 25(OH)D is not well understood. Moreover, few studies have investigated the effect of albuminuria, a known mediator of kidney function, on vitamin D levels. Our aim was to investigate the associations among estimated GFR (eGFR), albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), and 25(OH)D.
