Calculated based on t tests, except for the variables of female sex and etiology, which were based on the Fisher exact test.

b

For calcitriol, low dose is ≤0.25 µg/d; medium dose, >0.25−0.5 µg/d; and high dose, >0.5 µg/d. For alfacalcidol, low dose is <0.50 µg/d; medium dose, >0.5−1.0 µg/d; and high dose, is >1.0 µg/d.

Normal range in adults is 14−72 ng/L.
