Description

What does Vitamin D have to do with the Kidneys?  Even better, what do we know about Vitamin D and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
In this episode, you will get some education on what Vitamin D is, how we use Vitamin D in our bodies, the risks that come with a deficiency, and why vitamin D intake and status are important for Proactive PKD Living.  You will also get some actions to take regarding your Vitamin D Status, safe supplementation, and learn why Vitamin D is one of three labs I always recommend checking earlier than is recommended for Kidney Disease (CKD).
