Abstract
CKD-MBD is one of complications that usually manifested at late stages of CKD then progressed with dialysis Although renal transplantation is considered a good option of renal replacement therapy that may decrease dialysis complications, CKD MBD is not usually fully resolved after transplantation, especially with the commencement of immune suppressive agents Vitamin D has a known role in pathogenesis of CKD MBD Adding to its usual action on bone integrity, extra skeletal actions and association between its deficiency and many other diseases are now postulated. the aim of study : -measuring the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in renal transplant recipients in a single centre Almowasah hospital) -determining predictors of low 25 hydroxyvitamin D 25 ( D) levels using patient characteristics to identify patients at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency subjects and methods : This study was carried on renal transplant recipients who performed the surgery in Almowasah university hospital in the period between June 2015 and September 2017 Data was collected from patients during their regular follow up in the hospital transplantation clinic The initial number of patients was 62 patients but after drop out and excluding patients on vitamin D supplements the study was conducted on 55 patients All patients were subjected to detailed history taking and physical examination including BMI The laboratory investigations included CBC, renal function tests, PTH pre and post transplantation 25 ( D was measured as a good indicator of vitamin D status
