Abstract
The effect of 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha-OHD3) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) on the intestinal calcium absorption was studied in twenty patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with prednisone at daily doses of 5--15 mg for 1/2--20 years. The fractional calcium absorption, measured before and after the treatment with the vitamin D compounds, increased in nineteen of the twenty patients. This was, however, accompanied by marked rises in the urinary calcium excretion. There was no correlation between the fractional calcium absorption and the duration of the prednisone treatment or the doses given.Keywords
