Nutrients, Vol. 11, Pages 168: Vitamin K in Chronic Kidney Disease (Nutrients)
 


Vitamin K is a composite term referring to a group of fat-soluble vitamins that function as a cofactor for the enzyme ?-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX), which activates a number of vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) involved in haemostasis and vascular and bone health. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients suffer from subclinical vitamin K deficiency, suggesting that this represents a population at risk for the biological consequences of poor vitamin K status. This deficiency might be caused by exhaustion of vitamin K due to its high requirements by vitamin K-dependent proteins to inhibit calcification.
