Brief Summary

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

* Screening the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Egyptian hemodialysis patients on a single center (Ain Shams University hospital).
* Assessing the effect of the native type of vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) on replenishing its deficiency via extra-renal vitamin D receptors (VDR), among Egyptian hemodialysis patients.
* Assessing the effect of cholecalciferol on vascular calcification among Egyptian hemodialysis patients.
* Assessing the effect of cholecalciferol on Blood pressure, parathyroid hormone.
