Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risks for cardiovascular mortality and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in patients with early-stage disease, according to a study.
Yanhong Lin and colleagues examined the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) deficiency on cardiovascular mortality and kidney outcomes in patients with early-stage CKD. The analysis included 9,229 adult patients with CKD (stages 1 to 3) from 19 medical centers across China (January 2000 to May 2021).
The researchers found that compared with patients having 25(OH)D ≥20 ng/mL, a there was a significantly higher risk for cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1.90) and CKD progression (hazard ratio, 2.20) as well as a steeper annual decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (estimate, −7.87 percent per year) in those with serum 25(OH)D <10 ng/mL.
"In conclusion, 25(OH)D deficiency was common in patients with early-stage CKD," the authors write. "Vitamin D status should be closely monitored in patients with early CKD."

And the Vitamin D deficiency kidney disease thing has been known for decades.
We should be wondering why this is being touted as new news.
I take 5000+ IU’s every day......................
Without sunscreen!.................
The perception is enough to keep people out of the sun.
Oh No...
The list says I can’t eat OKRA...!
[[ but one interesting thing he found out is that if you eat oxalates with calcium, they bind in digestion and are less likely to cause future stones.]]
Thanks for that info- I love spinach, and beet greens especially, but have mostly avoided them because of stones- I’m a “Stoner” and have passed about 150 or so stones in a few years in the past before I found that eating far too many salty snacks was really amazing up the production of stones- I also learned that taking d alone would cause stones. Weirdly though ordinary are table salt doesn’t seem to cause stones, but perhaps if I ate as much as I was getting from eating salty snacks, it would.
Doc put me on allopurinol, and I watch my salt so ewha5 now (not fanatically, I just don’t have chips with lunches anymore, or 1/4 box of cheese nips per sitting, which I loved)
Too High Vitamin D can cause High Blood Pressure

It’s a balancing act. Too Low Vitamin D raises BP and so does too high Vitamin D.
Along with bran flakes, buckwheat groats, and bulgur.
What a hardship, right?
Mr. mm needs to restrict his salt intake as well.
