Bone disease in children with chronic renal failure: therapy with 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3

R J Postlethwaite et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1977 Dec.

Abstract

Results of 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 therapy in twelve children with renal bone disease are described. Nine of the twelve children showed a good response to 0.05--0.08 microgram/kg/day. Hypercalcaemia was the only side effect and proved easy to manage because of the short half-life of 1alpha-OHD3.
