Abstract
The medical treatment strategies of vitamin D appeared in the guideline of K/DOQI (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative) in the U.S. and Clinical algorithms on renal osteodystrophy in Europe. The target intact PTH value is 150-300 pg/mL (16.5-33.0 pmol/L) in U.S. and 9-18 pmol/L (82-164 pg/mL ) in Europe. It was set up more highly in U.S. than in Europe. A European and American medical treatment strategies are not so different from that of Japan in the routes and metabolites of vitamin Ds.
