Abstract
Fracture risk is high in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and underlying pathophysiology and risk factors may differ from the general population. In a cohort study of 3939 participants in the chronic renal insufficiency cohort (CRIC), we used Cox regression to test associations of putative risk factors with the composite of first hip or vertebral fracture assessed using hospital discharge codes. Mean age was 58 years, 45% were female, 42% were Black, and 13% were Hispanic. There were 82 hip and 24 vertebral fractures over a mean (SD) 11.1 (4.8) years (2.4 events per 1000 person-years [95% CI: 2.0, 2.9]). Measured at baseline, diabetes, lower body mass index (BMI), steroid use, proteinuria, and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) were each associated with fracture risk after adjusting for covariates. Lower time-updated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with fractures (HR 1.20 per 10 mL/min/1.73m2 lower eGFR; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.38) as were lower time-updated serum calcium and bicarbonate concentrations. Among time-updated categories of kidney function, hazard ratios (95% CI) for incident fracture were 4.53 (1.77, 11.60) for kidney failure treated with dialysis and 2.48 (0.86, 7.14) for post-kidney transplantation, compared with eGFR ≥60. Proton pump inhibitor use, dietary calcium intake, measures of vitamin D status, serum phosphate, urine calcium and phosphate, and plasma fibroblast growth factor-23 were not associated with fracture risk. In conclusion, lower eGFR in CKD is associated with higher fracture risk, which was highest in kidney failure. Diabetes, lower BMI, steroid use, proteinuria, higher serum concentrations of PTH, and lower calcium and bicarbonate concentrations were associated with fractures and may be modifiable risk factors.

Abstract
Context The body has evolved homeostatic mechanisms to maintain free levels of Ca+2 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] within narrow physiological ranges. Clinical guidelines emphasize important contributions of PTH in maintaining this homeostasis. Objective To investigate mechanisms of homeostatic regulation of vitamin D (VitD) metabolism and to apply mechanistic insights to improve clinical assessment of VitD status. Design Crossover clinical trial studying participants before and after VitD3-supplementation. Setting Community. Participants 11 otherwise healthy individuals with VitD-deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] ≤20 ng/mL). Interventions VitD3-supplements (50,000 IU once or twice a week depending on BMI, for 4-6 weeks) were administered to achieve 25(OH)D≥30 ng/mL. Results VitD3-supplementation significantly increased mean 25(OH)D by 2.7-fold and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [24,25(OH)2D] by 4.3-fold. In contrast, mean levels of PTH, FGF23, and 1,25(OH)2D did not change. Mathematical modeling suggested that 24-hydroxylase activity was maximal for 25(OH)D≥50 ng/mL and achieved a minimum (~90% suppression) with 25(OH)D<10-20 ng/mL. The 1,25(OH)2D/24,25(OH)2D ratio better predicted modeled 24-hydroxylase activity (h) (ρ=-0.85; p=0.001) compared to total plasma 25(OH)D (ρ=0.51; p=0.01) and the 24,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D ratio (ρ=0.37; p=0.3). Conclusions Suppression of 24-hydroxylase provides a first line of defense against symptomatic VitD-deficiency by decreasing metabolic clearance of 1,25(OH)2D. The 1,25(OH)2D/24,25(OH)2D ratio provides a useful index of VitD status since it incorporates 24,25(OH)2D levels and therefore, provides insight into 24-hydroxylase activity. When VitD availability is limited, this suppresses 24-hydroxylase activity - thereby decreasing the level of 24,25(OH)2D and increasing the 1,25(OH)2D/24,25(OH)2D ratio. Thus, an increased 1,25(OH)2D/24,25(OH)2D ratio signifies triggering of homeostatic regulation, which occurs at early stages of VitD-deficiency.

Abstract
CONTEXT Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is the current marker of vitamin D adequacy, but its relationship with bone health has been inconsistent. The ratio of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to 25(OH)D3 (vitamin D metabolite ratio or VMR) is a marker of vitamin D that has been associated with longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. OBJECTIVE High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) provides information on bone health beyond standard dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, in that it measures volumetric BMD (vBMD) as well bone strength. The relationship of the VMR with vBMD and bone strength remains unknown. METHODS We evaluated the associations of the VMR and 25(OH)D3 with vBMD and bone strength in the distal radius and tibia, assessed by HR-pQCT in 545 older men participating in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study. Primary outcomes were vBMD and estimated failure load (EFL, a marker of bone strength) at the distal radius and tibia. RESULTS The mean age was 84 ± 4 years, 88.3% were White, and 32% had an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. In adjusted models, each twofold higher VMR was associated with a 9% (3%, 16%) higher total vBMD and a 13% (5%, 21%) higher EFL at the distal radius. Results were similar at the distal tibia. 25(OH)D3 concentrations were not associated with any of the studied outcomes. CONCLUSION Among older men, a higher VMR was associated with greater vBMD and bone strength while 25(OH)D3 was not. The VMR may serve as a valuable marker of skeletal health in older men.

Abstract
Apart from developmental disabilities, the prevalence of chronic diseases increases with age especially in those with co-morbidities: vitamin D deficiency plays a major role in it. Whether vitamin D deficiency initiates and/or aggravates chronic diseases or vice versa is unclear. It adversely affects all body systems but can be eliminated using proper doses of vitamin D supplementation and/or safe daily sun exposure. Maintaining the population serum 25(OH)D concentration above 40 ng/mL (i.e., sufficiency) ensures a sound immune system, minimizing symptomatic diseases and reducing infections and the prevalence of chronic diseases. This is the most cost-effective way to keep a population healthy and reduce healthcare costs. Vitamin D facilitates physiological functions, overcoming pathologies such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and maintaining broader immune functions. These are vital to overcoming chronic diseases and infections. Therefore, in addition to following essential public health and nutritional guidance, maintaining vitamin D sufficiency should be an integral part of better health, preventing acute and chronic diseases and minimize their complications. Those with severe vitamin D deficiency have the highest burdens of co-morbidities and are more vulnerable to developing complications and untimely deaths. Vitamin D adequacy improves innate and adaptive immune systems. It controls excessive inflammation and oxidative stress, generates antimicrobial peptides, and neutralizes antibodies via immune cells. Consequently, vitamin D sufficiency reduces infections and associated complications and deaths. Maintaining vitamin D sufficiency reduces chronic disease burden, illnesses, hospitalizations, and all-cause mortality. Vulnerable communities, such as ethnic minorities living in temperate countries, older people, those with co-morbidities, routine night workers, and institutionalized persons, have the highest prevalence of vitamin D deficiency-they would significantly benefit from vitamin D and targeted micronutrient supplementation. At least now, health departments, authorities, and health insurance companies should start assessing, prioritizing, and encouraging this economical, non-prescription, safe micronutrient to prevent and treat acute and chronic diseases. This approach will significantly reduce morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs and ensure healthy aging.

Abstract
Background The ratio of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3/25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D metabolite ratio [VDMR]) may reflect functional vitamin D activity. We examined associations of the VDMR, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods and Results This study included longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses of 1786 participants from the CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study. Serum 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 25(OH)D, and 1,25(OH)2D were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry 1 year after enrollment. The primary outcome was composite CVD (heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease). We used Cox regression with regression-calibrated weights to test associations of the VDMR, 25(OH)D, and 1,25(OH)2D with incident CVD. We examined cross-sectional associations of these metabolites with left ventricular mass index using linear regression. Analytic models adjusted for demographics, comorbidity, medications, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria. The cohort was 42% non-Hispanic White race and ethnicity, 42% non-Hispanic Black race and ethnicity, and 12% Hispanic ethnicity. Mean age was 59 years, and 43% were women. Among 1066 participants without prevalent CVD, there were 298 composite first CVD events over a mean follow-up of 8.6 years. Lower VDMR and 1,25(OH)2D were associated with incident CVD before, but not after, adjustment for estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria (hazard ratio, 1.11 per 1 SD lower VDMR [95% CI, 0.95-1.31]). Only 25(OH)D was associated with left ventricular mass index after full covariate adjustment (0.6 g/m2.7 per 10 ng/mL lower [95% CI, 0.0-1.3]). Conclusions Despite modest associations of 25(OH)D with left ventricular mass index, 25(OH)D, the VDMR, and 1,25(OH)2D were not associated with incident CVD in chronic kidney disease.

The Vitamin D Metabolite Ratio (VMR) is a Biomarker of Vitamin D Status That is Not Affected by Acute Changes in Vitamin D Binding Protein. Clin Chem 2023; 69:718-723. [PMID: 37220642 PMCID: PMC10320009 DOI: 10.1093/clinchem/hvad050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] may be a poor marker of vitamin D status due to variability in levels of vitamin D binding protein (VDBP). The vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR) is the ratio of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D[24,25(OH)2D3] to 25(OH)D3 and has been postulated to reflect vitamin D sufficiency independent of variability in VDBP. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a procedure that removes plasma, including VDBP, and may lower bound vitamin D metabolite concentrations. Effects of TPE on the VMR are unknown. METHODS We measured 25(OH)D, free 25(OH)D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D[1,25(OH)2D], 24,25(OH)2D3, and VDBP in persons undergoing TPE, before and after treatment. We used paired t-tests to assess changes in these biomarkers during a TPE procedure. RESULTS Study participants (n = 45) had a mean age of 55 ± 16 years; 67% were female; and 76% were white. Compared to pretreatment concentrations, TPE caused a significant decrease in total VDBP by 65% (95%CI 60,70%), as well as all the vitamin D metabolites-25(OH)D by 66% (60%,74%), free 25(OH)D by 31% (24%,39%), 24,25(OH)2D3 by 66% (55%,78%) and 1,25(OH)2D by 68% (60%,76%). In contrast, there was no significant change in the VMR before and after a single TPE treatment, with an observed mean 7% (-3%, 17%) change in VMR. CONCLUSIONS Changes in VDBP concentration across TPE parallel changes in 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, and 24,25(OH)2D3, suggesting that concentrations of these metabolites reflect underlying VDBP concentrations. The VMR is stable across a TPE session despite a 65% reduction in VDBP. These findings suggest that the VMR is a marker of vitamin D status independent of VDBP levels.

Vitamin D supplementation in children and young adults with persistent proteinuria secondary to glomerular disease. Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:749-756. [PMID: 35852656 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-022-05660-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency is common in glomerular disease. Supplementation may be ineffective due to ongoing urinary losses of vitamin D binding protein. We sought to determine if daily cholecalciferol supplementation would increase vitamin D concentrations in children with glomerular disease and persistent proteinuria, without adverse effects. METHODS Eighteen participants at least 5 years of age with primary glomerular disease and urine protein:creatinine ratio ≥ 0.5 were enrolled from four pediatric nephrology practices to receive cholecalciferol supplementation: 4,000 IU or 2,000 IU per day for serum 25 hydroxyvitamin vitamin D (25OHD) concentrations < 20 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL to < 30 ng/mL, respectively. Measures of vitamin D and mineral metabolism were obtained at baseline and weeks 6 and 12. Multivariable generalized estimating equation (GEE) regression estimated mean percent changes in serum 25OHD concentration. RESULTS Median baseline 25OHD was 12.8 ng/mL (IQR 9.3, 18.9) and increased to 27.8 ng/mL (20.5, 36.0) at week 6 (p < 0.001) without further significant increase at week 12. A total of 31% of participants had a level ≥ 30 ng/mL at week 12. Supplementation was stopped in two participants at week 6 for mildly elevated calcium and phosphorus, respectively, with subsequent declines in 25OHD of > 20 ng/mL. In the adjusted GEE model, 25OHD was 102% (95% CI: 64, 141) and 96% (95% CI: 51, 140) higher versus baseline at weeks 6 and 12, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Cholecalciferol supplementation in vitamin D deficient children with glomerular disease and persistent proteinuria safely increases 25OHD concentration. Ideal dosing to fully replete 25OHD concentrations in this population remains unknown. CLINICAL TRIAL NCT01835639.

Abstract
Studies on associations between biomarkers of vitamin D metabolism and fracture risk have focused predominantly on White or elderly populations and may not be generalizable to relatively healthy multiethnic populations. We tested associations of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), the ratio of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D metabolite ratio, VDMR), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) concentrations measured in serum with risk of hip and vertebral fractures in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The study cohort of 6466 participants was without clinically apparent cardiovascular disease and was 39% White, 27% Black, 22% Hispanic, and 12% Chinese. The mean age was 62 years, and 53% were female. There were 128 hip and vertebral fractures over a mean follow-up of 14.2 years. 25(OH)D, the VDMR, PTH, and FGF-23 were not significantly associated with fracture risk after adjustment for demographics, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, medication use, albuminuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Principal component analysis did not suggest differences in linear combinations of 25(OH)D, the VDMR, PTH, and FGF-23 between participants who experienced fractures and those who did not. We did not observe significant interaction between race and ethnicity and any biomarker of vitamin D metabolism on fracture risk. In conclusion, none of the four serum biomarkers of vitamin D metabolism investigated showed a significant association with fracture risk in relatively healthy multiethnic populations. © 2022 The Authors.

Validation of the 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 ratio as a biomarker of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 clearance. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2022; 217:106047. [PMID: 34954017 PMCID: PMC8837693 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2021.106047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The formation of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D) from 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is the primary mechanism for the metabolic clearance of 25(OH)D, and is regulated by tissue-level vitamin D activity. The ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3 to 25(OH)D3 in blood (vitamin D metabolite ratio, VDMR) is postulated to be a marker of 25(OH)D3 clearance, however this has never been tested. We measured baseline 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 concentrations in 87 participants by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Following an infusion of deuterated 25(OH)D3, blood samples for each participant were collected over 56 days and analyzed for deuterated vitamin D metabolites. 25(OH)D3 clearance and the deuterated metabolite-to-parent AUC ratio (ratio of the AUC of deuterated 24,25(OH)2D3 to that of deuterated 25(OH)D3) were calculated. We compared the VDMR with these two measures using correlation coefficients and linear regression. Participants had a mean age of 64 ± 11years, 41 % were female, 30 % were self-described Black, 28 % had non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 23 % had kidney failure treated with hemodialysis. The VDMR was strongly correlated with 25(OH)D3 clearance and the deuterated metabolite-to-parent AUC ratio (r = 0.51 and 0.76, respectively). Adjusting for 25(OH)D3 clearance or the deuterated metabolite-to-parent AUC ratio in addition to clinical covariates, lower VDMR was observed in participants with CKD and kidney failure than in healthy controls; in Black than White participants; and in those with lower serum albumin. Our findings validate the VDMR as a measure of 25(OH)D3 clearance. This relationship was biased by characteristics including race and kidney disease, which warrant consideration in studies assessing the VDMR.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate total and free vitamin D metabolites and hormone-to-prohormone [1,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D] "activation ratio" in PHPT patients with low or insufficient vitamin D status. METHODS Thirty female patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and 30 age and body mass index (BMI) matched healthy controls were enrolled. Serum levels of calcium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), vitamin D binding protein (DBP), albumin, total 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D were measured. The activation ratio of vitamin D was calculated as total 1,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D. Calculated serum-free 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D levels were also reported. RESULTS Compared to the control subject, patients with PHPT had a lower total 25(OH)D and DBP levels (p < 0.001). The serum concentration of free 25(OH)D and total 1,25(OH)2D were similar between the two groups; but free 1,25(OH)2D levels were about 26% higher in the PHPT patients compared to controls (p < 0.001). PHPT patients had a significantly higher activation ratio (p < 0.01), although their total 25(OH)D were lower than controls. The free (but not total) 1,25(OH)2D level was inversely correlated with DBP (p < 0.01). Both free 1,25(OH)2D levels and activation ratio were positively correlated with iPTH and calcium levels (p < 0.01). The activation ratio was highly correlated with levels of total vitamin D stores and free vitamin D metabolites (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with PHPT had significantly higher free 1,25(OH)2D levels and activation ratio compared to control subjects. We suggest that levels of free vitamin D metabolites and vitamin D activation ratio may provide additional values for the diagnosis and therapeutic choices in these patient populations with compromised vitamin D status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] thresholds for treatment with vitamin D supplementation have been suggested and are derived almost exclusively from observational studies. Whether other characteristics, including race/ethnicity, BMI, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), should also influence the threshold for treatment is unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim was to identify clinical and biomarker characteristics that modify the response to vitamin D supplementation. METHODS A total of 666 older adults in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) were randomly assigned to 16 wk of oral vitamin D3 (2000 IU/d; n = 499) or placebo (n = 167). Primary outcomes were changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] concentrations from baseline to 16 wk. RESULTS Among 666 participants randomly assigned (mean age: 72 y; 53% female; 66% racial/ethnic minority), 611 (92%) completed the study. The mean (SD) change in PTH was -3 (16) pg/mL with vitamin D3 compared with 2 (18) pg/mL with placebo (estimated mean difference: -5; 95% CI: -8, -2 pg/mL). Within the vitamin D3 group, lower baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was associated with a larger decline in PTH in a nonlinear fashion. With baseline 25(OH)D ≥30 ng/mL as the reference, 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL was associated with a larger decline in PTH with vitamin D3 supplementation (-10; 95% CI: -15, -6 pg/mL), whereas 25(OH)D of 20-30 ng/mL was not (-2; 95% CI: -6, 1 pg/mL). A segmented threshold model identified a baseline 25(OH)D concentration of 21 (95% CI: 13, 31) ng/mL as an inflection point for difference in change in PTH. Race/ethnicity, BMI, and eGFR did not modify vitamin D treatment response. There was no significant change in 1,25(OH)2D in either treatment group. CONCLUSIONS Of characteristics most commonly associated with vitamin D metabolism, only baseline 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL modified the PTH response to vitamin D supplementation, providing support from a clinical trial to use this threshold to define insufficiency. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02925195.

Abstract
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone of importance to the field of dermatology. Skin is unique in that it is the site of vitamin D synthesis upon sun exposure and a target organ for its activity. We explore the physiology and metabolic mechanism of action of vitamin D, as well as its effects on the skin. We also discuss the current evidence of the efficacy and safety of oral and topical vitamin D analogues on skin conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, sunburn, actinic keratosis, and fibrosing skin disorders. Based on currently available scientific evidence, the National Academy of Medicine's recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D ranges from 400 IU to 800 IU daily based on age categories.

Abstract
The most representative indicator of vitamin D status in clinical practice is 25(OH)D3, but new biomarkers could improve the assessment of vitamin D status and metabolism. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of serum vitamin D metabolites and vitamin D metabolite ratios (VMRs) with potentially influential factors in premenopausal women. This is a cross-sectional study based on 1422 women, aged 39-50, recruited from a Madrid Medical Diagnostic Center. Participants answered an epidemiological and a food frequency questionnaire. Serum vitamin D metabolites were determined using an SPE-LC-MS/MS platform. The association between participant's characteristics, vitamin D metabolites, and VMRs was quantified by multiple linear regression models. Mean 25(OH)D3 concentration was 49.2 + 18.9 nmol/L, with greater deficits among obese, nulliparous, dark-skinned women, and with less sun exposure. A lower R2 ratio (1,25(OH)2D3/25(OH)D3) and a higher R4 (24,25(OH)2D3/1,25(OH)2D3) were observed in nulliparous women, with high sun exposure, and those with low caloric intake or high consumption of calcium, vitamin D supplements, or alcohol. Nulliparous women had lower R1 (25(OH)D3/Vit D3) and R3 (24,25(OH)2D3/25(OH)D3), and older women showed lower R3 and R4. Vitamin D status modified the association of the VMRs with seasons. VMRs can be complementary indicators of vitamin D status and its endogenous metabolism, and reveal the influence of certain individual characteristics on the expression of hydroxylase enzymes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes and is determined by measuring 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). The 25(OH)D is catabolized to 24, 25-(OH) 2D and the ratio of 25(OH) D to 24, 25-(OH)2D, the vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR), is thought to be a superior marker of VDD, being elevated in such states. The aims of this study were to assess the longitudinal vitamin D status of pregnant women by measuring cholecalciferol, 25(OH)D, 24, 25-(OH)2D and VMR at two time points and also to determine any association of vitamin D and metabolites with gestational age at birth, birth length and weight. METHODS We recruited 400 pregnant black African women in their first trimester (V1) and measured weights and heights. Ultrasound scans were performed for gestational age. Blood was drawn at V1 and at about 26 weeks (V2) of gestation for cholecalciferol, 25(OH)D, 24, 25-(OH)2D, VMR and parathyroid hormone (PTH). An OGTT was performed at V2 where fasting glucose, insulin and 30-minute glucose were measured. At birth, we measured birth weight, length and gestational age. Maternal insulin, PTH and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) were measured by immunoassay. Maternal albumin was measured colorimetrically. Maternal cholecalciferol, 25(OH)D and 24, 25-(OH)2D, were measured by mass spectrometry and free and bioavailable vitamin D were calculated. Initial gestation was determined by ultrasound. We compared analytes by visit as well as by 25(OH)D status. Vitamin D deficiency (<30 nmol/L) was defined according to the National Academy of Medicine guidelines. Linear regression analysis was used to determine associations of vitamin D molecules with maternal blood pressure, fasting and 30-minute insulin and blood glucose and neonatal parameters. RESULTS Results are presented for participants for whom we had complete data (n = 330-346 depending on variable). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) was 35.8 % at V1 and 32.4 % at V2. Levels of 25(OH)D did not change significantly between visits. Levels of 24, 25(OH)2D dropped from the first to the second visit (17.64 ± 12.64 to 9.39 ± 9.07 nmol/L; p < 0.0001) while VMR increased ((3.15 (1.31; 7.67) to 7.90 (2.44; 25.98); p < 0.0001). The proportion of women with the lowest cholecalciferol concentrations increased at V2 compared to the V1 (36.1-42.8 %; p = 0.02). In multivariable regression models 25(OH)D was negatively associated with 30-minute glucose concentrations (p = 0.038) whilst 24, 25-(OH)2D was positively associated with fasting insulin (p = 0.017) and HOM A-I R (p = 0.023). There was no correlation of 25(OH)D or metabolites with infant birth weight, birth length or gestational age. CONCLUSIONS Maternal VDD is common in pregnant black South African women. Decreased VMR suggest that catabolism of 25(OH)D is reduced in pregnancy to maintain adequate free vitamin D levels.

J Am Soc Nephrol 2021; 32:188-198.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) to the active form of vitamin D occurs primarily in the kidney. Observational studies suggest 25(OH)D clearance from the circulation differs by kidney function and race. However, these potential variations have not been tested using gold-standard methods. METHODS We administered intravenous, deuterated 25(OH)D3 (d-25[OH]D3) in a pharmacokinetic study of 87 adults, including 43 with normal eGFR (≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2), 24 with nondialysis CKD (eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2), and 20 with ESKD treated with hemodialysis. We measured concentrations of d-25(OH)D3 and deuterated 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 at 5 minutes and 4 hours after administration, and at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 56 days postadministration. We calculated 25(OH)D clearance using noncompartmental analysis of d-25(OH)D3 concentrations over time. We remeasured 25(OH)D clearance in a subset of 18 participants after extended oral vitamin-D3 supplementation. RESULTS The mean age of the study cohort was 64 years; 41% were female, and 30% were Black. Mean 25(OH)D clearances were 360 ml/d, 313 ml/d, and 263 ml/d in participants with normal eGFR, CKD, and kidney failure, respectively (P=0.02). After adjustment for age, sex, race, and estimated blood volume, lower eGFR was associated with reduced 25(OH)D clearance (β=-17 ml/d per 10 ml/min per 1.73 m2 lower eGFR; 95% CI, -21 to -12). Black race was associated with higher 25(OH)D clearance in participants with normal eGFR, but not in those with CKD or kidney failure (P for interaction=0.05). Clearance of 25(OH)D before versus after vitamin-D3 supplementation did not differ. CONCLUSIONS Using direct pharmacokinetic measurements, we show that 25(OH)D clearance is reduced in CKD and may differ by race. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY NAME AND REGISTRATION NUMBER Clearance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in Chronic Kidney Disease (CLEAR), NCT02937350; Clearance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 During Vitamin D3 Supplementation (CLEAR-PLUS), NCT03576716.

Nat Commun 2020; 11:5997.

Abstract
The vitamin D receptor is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract where it transacts gene expression. With current limited understanding of the interactions between the gut microbiome and vitamin D, we conduct a cross-sectional analysis of 567 older men quantifying serum vitamin D metabolites using LC-MSMS and defining stool sub-Operational Taxonomic Units from16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing data. Faith's Phylogenetic Diversity and non-redundant covariate analyses reveal that the serum 1,25(OH)2D level explains 5% of variance in α-diversity. In β-diversity analyses using unweighted UniFrac, 1,25(OH)2D is the strongest factor assessed, explaining 2% of variance. Random forest analyses identify 12 taxa, 11 in the phylum Firmicutes, eight of which are positively associated with either 1,25(OH)2D and/or the hormone-to-prohormone [1,25(OH)2D/25(OH)D] "activation ratio." Men with higher levels of 1,25(OH)2D and higher activation ratios, but not 25(OH)D itself, are more likely to possess butyrate producing bacteria that are associated with better gut microbial health.

Clin Chem 2020; 67:385-393. [PMID: 33188595 DOI: 10.1093/clinchem/hvaa238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] may be a poor marker of vitamin D status as it reflects differences in vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) between individuals. The vitamin D metabolite ratio [VMR, ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3 to 25(OH)D3] is a marker of vitamin D status that has been hypothesized to be independent of variability in VDBP. This hypothesis has not been directly evaluated. METHODS We measured 25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, and VDBP in 377 community-dwelling older adults that participated in the Health Aging and Body Composition Study. 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 were used to calculate the VMR. We used linear regression to assess the relationship between VDBP with the VMR, 24,25(OH)2D3, 25(OH)D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3. RESULTS Participants had mean age 75 ± 3 years, 52% were female, 40% were black, and 24% had chronic kidney disease. VDBP concentrations were associated with sex, serum albumin, and VDBP phenotype in multivariable models. In fully adjusted models, each 1% higher VDBP was associated with a 0.92%[95% CI(0.37,1.49%)], 0.76% (0.39, 1.13%), and 0.57% (0.29, 0.85%), higher 24,25(OH)2D3, 25(OH)D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3. The VMR was independent of VDBP concentration, [0.16%(-0.11, 0.44) higher VMR per 1% higher VDBP, P = .25]. CONCLUSIONS The VMR was independent of VDBP concentration, whereas VDBP was strongly directly associated with the individual vitamin D metabolite concentrations. Prior studies evaluating only 25(OH)D3 may have been confounded by absence of data on VDBP status. The VMR may serve as an important biomarker of vitamin D status and clinical outcomes that can be utilized in populations with a large spectrum of VDBP concentrations.
