Hypervitaminosis D leads to toxic effects, including hypercalcemia, which can cause severe damage to various organs. Fetuin-A, a glycoprotein with anti-inflammatory properties, may protect tissues from such damage. This study explores the role of Fetuin-A in mitigating hypervitaminosis D-induced damage in renal, hepatic, and cardiac tissues.

Diuretic drugs act on electrolyte transporters in the kidney to induce diuresis and are often used in chronic kidney disease (CKD), given that nephron loss creates a deficit in the ability to excrete dietary sodium, which promotes an increase in plasma volume. This rise in plasma volume is exacerbated by CKD-induced systemic and intra-renal activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, which further limits urinary sodium excretion. In the absence of a compensatory decrease in systemic vascular resistance, increases in plasma volume induced by sodium retention can manifest as a rise in systemic arterial blood pressure.

: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonists are commonly used in clinical practice for their roles in calcium regulation and potential benefits in various diseases. However, their safety profiles, particularly for compounds available as food supplements, remain underexplored in real-world settings. This study aimed to analyze the safety profiles of VDR agonists using the EudraVigilance database, focusing on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported between 1 January 2004 and 23 June 2024.
