Clinical Features and Outcomes of a Racially Diverse Population with Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vitamin D deficiency, sympathetic activation and endothelial dysfunction are associated with increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies have so far failed to establish the role of vitamin D and vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) treatment in moderate CKD. This trial...
