Editorial Comments

Klaus Olgaard and Ewa Lewin

Use (or misuse) of vitamin D treatment in CKD and dialysis patients: A recent meta-analysis on vitamin D compounds in chronic kidney disease [1] and an editorial comment [2] accompanying this meta-analysis have already been published. We believe that these papers deserve some comments in the interest of the NDT readership
