Did you know that most of your Vitamin D is produced by your kidneys? And Vitamin D is actually a hormone? This is why kidney problems can affect bone health. Vitamin D is an immuno-modulator. It affects the innate and adaptive immune systems. The kidneys have an important role in making vitamin D useful to the body. The kidneys convert Vitamin D from supplements or the sun to the active form of Vitamin D that is needed by the body. With chronic kidney disease, low Vitamin D levels can be found, sometimes even severely low levels.
