Kidney Dialysis, low Vitamin D, low Magnesium - many studies

Created November 2022

FACT: A health Kidney recycles Magnesium into the blood so as to keep a constant level

FACT: A health Kidney helps in the final activation of Vitamin D (cells can also perform this function)

LIKELY: A diseased kidney in less able to regulate Magnesium and activate Vitamin D

FACT: Often people with Chronic Kidney Disease are prescribed fully activated Vitamin D or analogs

SUSPECT: Some dialysis filters out both Activated Vitamin D and Magnesium

Kidney dialysis clinics are aware of the problem, but are not paid to restore the removed Vitamin D
