1 Vitamin D Replacement ROCKY MOUNTAIN MEETING NOV 2013 BANFF W.COKE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

2 Disclosures: (Academic Mea Culpa) No financial conflicts I have no expertise re: Vitamin D.

3 OBJECTIVES: 1) Review basic metabolism and actions Vitamin D. 2) Examine the challenges interpreting Vit D literature. 1) Replacement recommendations using best available evidence.

4 Synthesis and Metabolism Vitamin D (ADULTS)

5 Sources Vitamin D: Sunlight (UV-B) Skin 7-Dehydro Cholesterol Pre vitamin D 3 Diet Foods Natural Vit D 2, D 3 + Fortified Foods Oral Supplement Cholecalciferol (D 3 ) and/or Ergocalciferol (D 2 ) Lumisterol Tachysterol 7-DHC Vitamin D 3 Vit D 3 Vit D 2 Liver 25 OH Vit D (25 OHD) Kidney 1α- hydroxylation 1, 25 Dihydroxy Vit D Inactive Metabolites

7 Importance Vitamin D: A) CALCIUM and BONE METABOLISM Vit D 3 Vit D 2 (CHOLECALCIFEROL) (ERGOCALCIFEROL) LIVER 25 HYDROXYLATION 25-HYDROXY VIT D (25 OHD) KIDNEY 1, 25 DIHYDROXY 1α- HYDROXYLATION VIT D PARATHYROIDS KIDNEYS SMALL INTESTINE BONE PTH PROX TUBULE ABSORPTION CA ABSORPTION PO 4 REABSORPTION CA and PO 4 OSTEOBLASTS OSTEOCLASTS

8 Mechanism Action Vitamin D: B) Other 25 OH Vit D 1, 25 Di OH Vit D TARGET ORGANS VDRS Multiple Tissues with 1-α-Hydroxylase MUSCLE CELLS FALLS? COLON RECTUM CANCER RISK IMMUNE SYSTEM : -DENDRITIC CELLS -MACROPHAGES -MONOCYTES -T+B LYMPHS CV SYSTEM BP Control RAS THROMBOGENESIS FIBRINOLYSIS -Autoimmune Disease -DM1 -MS -IBD -Allergies -TB / COPD / Viruses

9 Problems Associated with Vit D Deficiency: Bone Disease Rickets Osteomalacia Osteoporosis Low trauma fractures Muscle Increased falls

10 Problems Associated with Vit D Deficiency: Non-MSK Cancer Immune System Type 1 DM MS IBD Allergy Viral Infections Cardiovascular Disease

11 Potential Causes Vitamin D Deficiency: Sunlight Exposure (UVB) Northern Latitudes Barriers / Blocks Darker Skin?/ Obesity Dietary Intake Cod Liver Oil / Fish / Fish Oils/ Egg yolks Fortified foods Milk / Cereals / Orange Juice Malabsorption IBD Cystic Fibrosis Medications Abnormal Vit D Metabolism

12 Diagnosis Vit D Deficiency Lab Tests Ca PO 4 PTH levels Vit D assays Bone Density Outcomes Fractures/Falls Other

13 Diagnosis Vit D Deficiency Ca, PO 4 Vit D Assays 25(OH)D -Lower Limit 50 nmol/l -Upper Limit nmol/l -Target Limit > 50 nmol/l I0M > 75 nmol/l US Endo Soc Suppression PTH 67.5 to 75mml/L

14 Vit D Deficiency and Bone Disease A) Observational Studies: Most show higher risk fractures (hip, vertebrae, wrist, humerus) lower level 25 (0H) D Particularly 25(OH) D < 50 nmol/l NHANES (2005) n=13, % all adults at risk Vit D Levels falling over time Specific popn s risk

15 Vit D Deficiency and Bone Disease A) HIGHER RISK POPULATIONS PRIMARY - Elderly - Post Menopausal Women - Decreased Sun Exposure - Obese - Dark Skin - Poor Nutrition - Lower Education SECONDARY - Evidence of Bone Disease OTHER - Malabsorption - Medications

16 Vit D Deficiency and Bone Disease: B) INTERVENTION TRIALS / RTCS Multiple RCTS/Meta-analyses Mixed results re: fractures Optimal dose Vit D not clear Combination Vit D and Calcium works better Very high dose Vit D (300, 000 to 500, 000 units once yearly) may fractures and falls Meta-analysis 23 RCTS no benefit bone density

17 B. Interventional Trials / RTCs: Women Health Initiative (WHI) n > 36, 000 F/U > 7 years Vit D 400 Placebo Calcium 1000mg Could take - own supplements - Bisphosphonates - Estrogen (over 50%)

18 WHI Results: Higher 25 (OH)D in Treatment Group Fracture risk < treatment vs. placebo but minimal Statistically significant only compliant (>80% meds) subset Increased risk renal stones

19 Vit D and Falls: Animal models Observational studies Interventional studies Most no significant impact balance/gait Meta-analysis Benefits higher doses Vit D units Exercise more effective

20 Vitamin D and Non MSK Disease: Cancer Immune System disorders Cardiovascular Disease Depression

21 RECOMMENDATIONS: Primary Prevention Public Health Issues Dietary recommendations Food supplements Exercise No evidence supporting routine Vit D, Calcium Assess 25(OH)D high risk groups Nutrition Canada 400 unit Vit D (over age 50)

22 RECOMMENDATIONS: A) Severe 25 (OH)D Deficiency 50 nmol/l Start 50, 000 units Vit D 3 (Cholecalciferol) Weekly x 6-8 weeks 1000 mg Calcium daily Maintain units Cit D 3 daily 1000 mg Calcium daily (Ca carbonate 1, 250 mg BID) Repeat 25(OH) D level after 3-4 months maintenance dose
