Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to study the effects of paricalcitol on endothelial function and inflammation, cardiovascular risk factors which are associated with patient populations that have Type 2 diabetes and Stage 3 and 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Hypothesis 1: The state of CKD is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation and impaired post ischemic endothelium dependent flow mediated vasodilation which may contribute to atherogenesis.

Hypothesis 2: The administration of paracalcitol to patients with CKD will suppress oxidative stress and inflammation and improve endothelial function and thus contribute to an anti-atherogenic action.

No changes in lipid lowering therapy during the 3 months of this study. Blood pressure doses may be changed but new therapy with ACE inhibitors will not be allowed.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Severe co morbid conditions - e.g. Cancer, etc.
2. Congestive heart failure.
3. Inability to give informed consent or attend study related visits.
4. Have a history of abnormally high vitamin D or calcium levels in the bloodstream.
5. Unwilling or unable to complete screening or data collection procedures.
6. Have a known allergy to the study drug.
7. Pregnant or breast feeding
8. Plasma Calcium \>9 mg/dl
9. Patients should discontinue any calcium supplementation prior to entry into the study.
10. Other vitamin D analogs (eg Sensipar) and vitamin D preparations are contraindicated
