Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the effects of in vitamin D3 on serum hepcidin and ferritin levels among children with chronic kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer is:

"What is the effect of giving vitamin D3 on serum hepcidin and ferritin levels in children with chronic kidney disease?"

We will compare the effect of vitamin D3 administration on hepcidin and ferritin between 2 groups. Group A consists of children with GFR more 90 mL/min/1,73 m2. Group B consists of children with GFR less than 90 mL/min/1,73 m2

Participants will be given the same 2000 IU of Vitamin D/day for 6 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of the study is to analyze the effects of vitamin D3 administration on serum levels of hepcidin and ferritin in children diagnosed with CKD. The research aims to measure these serum levels before and after vitamin D3 supplementation across different stages of kidney function, categorized by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Specifically, it seeks to determine whether vitamin D3 can effectively reduce hepcidin levels and improve iron status as indicated by ferritin levels. The study employs a structured methodology involving children with CKD, divided into two groups based on their GFR: those with GFR \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m² and those with GFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m². Serum levels of vitamin D, hepcidin, and ferritin will be measured at baseline (before supplementation) and after a defined period of vitamin D3 administration. The research will utilize statistical analyses to compare these values within and between groups to establish any significant changes attributable to the supplementation.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study targets children diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, categorized into two groups based on their glomerular filtration rate (GFR): those with GFR \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m² and those with GFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m². Participants are selected through purposive sampling, ensuring they meet defined inclusion criteria related to age, CKD diagnosis, and baseline serum levels. Serum levels of vitamin D, hepcidin, and ferritin are measured before and after vitamin D3 supplementation. This allows for comparative analysis of changes within each group and between the two groups, providing insights into the effects of vitamin D3 on iron metabolism.
