Vitamin D deficiency and infection risk in kidney transplant recipients: A single‐center cohort study

Background Recent studies have reported an increased susceptibility to infection among vitamin D‐deficient kidney transplant (KT) recipients, although methodological concerns remain. Methods Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were measured in 246 KT recipients at post‐transplant months 1, 3,...
