Renal Disease

Those that may have kidney disease may not be able to convert 24-hydroxylase or 1-alpha-hydroxylase to 24,25-(OH)2D3 or to calcitriol (see the image below). This will impair vitamin D from becoming biologically active. Phosphorous levels are also elevated due to the renal disease and lack of excretion.
