Title: Unveiling the Role of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphism in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Hemodialysis
Introduction: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, yet its synthesis is disrupted in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This disruption has been linked to complications such as secondary hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular diseases. A recent study explored the genetic aspect of these complications by assessing vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene…
