Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nutritional (cholecalciferol) or active
vitamin D (calcitriol) supplementation improves vascular endothelial function in patients
with stage IIIB and IV chronic kidney disease with vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. The
investigators hypothesize that the use of calcitriol supplementation will result in improved
vascular endothelial function as compared to cholecalciferol supplementation.
