Highlights
Vitamin D (VD) insufficiency is widely spread worldwide
Our findings demonstrate that poorer VD status in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is associated with higher proteinuria [6]
VD status had no influence on the prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI) in our transplant center; Kwon et al [13] demonstrated that VD is an independent risk factor for post-transplant UTI [12,13]
