In addition to nutritional deficits due to dietary restrictions, vitamin D metabolism is impaired, and its deficiency is associated with DM and protein-energy wasting syndrome and it can result in a poor nutritional status and a worsened quality of life (QoL). The purpose of the present research is to establish the impact of vitamin D on nutritional status and QoL in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
