About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Chronic Kidney Disease focused on measuring Chronic Kidney Disease, Vitamin D

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 18 years
  • Stage 3 or 4 CKD
  • Ability to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Serum Calcium > 10 g/dL
  • Serum Phosphorous > 6 g/dL
  • On > 400 units/d Vitamin D therapy
  • Receiving cimetidine, triamterene, or trimethoprim, drugs that block creatinine secretion
  • On vitamin D receptor activators (paricalcitol, calcitriol or Zemplar)
  • Allergic to radiocontrast dye

Sites / Locations

  • Roudebush VA Medical Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Paricalcitol

Arm Description

After baseline measurements are complete, pt will receive 2 mcg Paricalcitol (Zemplar) for 7 consecutive days. After this, Kidney function will again be measured. The pt will then be washed off the paricalcitol for 7 days then kidney function will be measured for the last time.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

24-hour Urine Creatinine Excretion Rate
We expect the 24 hour urine creatinine excretion rate to show no differences between groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Creatinine Clearance
The primary outcome variable will be creatinine clearance. Subject will be used as random variable and maximal likelihood estimation methods will be used. We expect no differences between periods.
Serum Creatinine
We expect serum creatinine to confirm the results of creatinine clearance.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of Paricalcitol (Zemplar) on kidney functioning. The investigators hypothesize that the increase in serum creatinine observed in recent paricalcitol trials is a function of reduced creatinine secretion and not an actual reduction in kidney function. 16 patients will have kidney function measured via iothalamate clearance at baseline, after 7 days of paricalcitol treatment and after 7 days of being washed off the paricalcitol.
