1-alphahydroxycholecalciferol in chronic renal failure. Studies of the effect or oral doses
Abstract:
Four patients with advanced chronic renal failure and osteodystrophy were treated with 1-alphahydroxycholecalciferol, a synthetic vitamin D analogue, in a daily oral dose of 1.5 to 2.0 mug, for periods up to 1 year. They showed increased calcium absorption, positive calcium and phosphorus balances, moderate increases in serum calcium levels, marked reductions in serum alkaline phosphatase levels, a decrease in serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone levels, and radiologic and histologic improvement in bone disease. One patient with proximal myopathy showed improvement in muscular strength. 1-Alphahydroxycholecalciferol appears to be effective therapy for renal osteodystrophy.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
