Vitamin D by mouth to prevent peritoneal dialysis peritonitis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D by mouth can lower the risk of peritonitis (a painful infection of the lining around the abdomen) in people on peritoneal dialysis. You might benefit if your vitamin D level is low and you meet other safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- You’ve been on peritoneal dialysis for more than 1 month
- Your blood vitamin D level (25-OH vitamin D) is below 30 ng/mL
- Your dialysis is adequate (weekly Kt/V is at least 1.5) or you don’t have uremic symptoms
- You have not taken vitamin D2 or D3 in the last 1 month
- You can safely take vitamin D and attend regular follow-up visits

This trial is testing whether giving preterm babies (born at 24 to 32 weeks) a high, carefully monitored dose of vitamin D right after birth helps improve their health compared to standard care.
This trial tests whether giving a high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce death within 28 days for critically ill adults in the ICU who have very low vitamin D levels. It may help by correcting vitamin D deficiency, which the study team thinks could affect outcomes in serious illness.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can reduce inflammation and improve healing in people with gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Researchers will compare how vitamin D affects different stages of gum disease.
This trial tests whether starting vitamin D3 soon after ICU admission helps critically ill adults with low vitamin D levels. It may help correct low vitamin D and possibly improve recovery, depending on your health situation.
This trial checks if measuring vitamin D in dialysis patients can lead to better treatment, then gives vitamin D supplements to those who are low. It may help improve your bone and heart health.
This study tests whether taking a very high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce moderate to severe chronic pain in people on hemodialysis. It may help by improving vitamin D-related pathways that could affect pain, but you must also meet specific health and testing requirements.
