Description
Ashraf Hassan Abd El Mobdy heads a 2026 study of vitamin D and artery health in dialysis patients. People on hemodialysis face high heart risk. Thick neck arteries can warn of hidden disease. The team asked if blood vitamin D levels track with that warning sign.
Ninety patients on regular dialysis took part. Neck ultrasound split them into normal and thick artery groups. Blood tests covered vitamin D, calcium, fats, and inflammation marks. Vitamin D showed no clear link to artery thickness. Calcium levels did differ between the two groups. Body weight stood out as a predictor of low vitamin D. The findings warn against assuming vitamin D alone explains artery change here.
