New Developments in Vitamin D Metabolism and Action
October 23, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: On-Demand
Session Description
Vitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis and metabolism. Its discovery was due to a search for the dietary substance lacking in children with rickets. Vitamin D supplements are given to treat or to prevent osteomalacia and rickets. This session provides an update on different aspects of vitamin D metabolism, mechanism of action, and clinical application.
Learning Objective(s)
- Describe genetic variants affecting the metabolism of calcium and vitamin D
- Discuss the latest mechanisms in vitamin D metabolism
- Identify treatment possibilities for restoring disturbed kidney function
- Summarize insights about markers of mineral metabolism
Learning Pathway(s)
- Bone and Mineral Metabolism
- Cell and Transport Physiology
Moderators
- Joost Hoenderop, PhD
- Myles Wolf, MD
