Abstract
Objective: To assess the proportion of insufficient, deficient and severely deficient level of 25 hydroxy Vitamin D in patients on hemodialysis.
Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted from February to December 2020. A total of 196 patients who were between 18-80 years of age on maintenance hemodialysis for at least one month were selected using non probability consecutive sampling technique. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.
Results: Out of 196 patients, 112(57.14%) were males and 84(42.86%) females. 151(77%) were diabetic and 157(80.1%) hypertensive. Low level of vitamin D was observed in 187(95.41%) patients. In these, 64(32.7%) were severely deficient (25(OH) D <10ng/ml), 102(52.0%) had deficiency (25(OH) D 10-20 ng/ml) and 21(10.7%) had insufficient levels of vitamin D (25(OH)D 21 to 30 ng/ml). The relationship between severity of deficient levels had no correlation with age, gender, BMI and hypertension (p>0.05), while a statistically significant correlation was found with duration of CKD, duration of hemodialysis, number of hemodialysis sessions/week and diabetes
Conclusion: Low level of vitamin D was observed in 95.41% patients on hemoldialysis.

Key words: Vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis.
