Editorial Comment: There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the United States. These investigators demonstrated that this finding also held true for recurrent kidney stone formers, with a third having this disorder. They also showed that serum vitamin D had an inverse correlation with serum parathyroid hormone levels. The impact of replenishing vitamin D on stone risk has not been completely denned. It has been previously reported that vitamin D replenishment does not alter urinary calcium excretion in healthy postmenopausal women.
