Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, which reflect the body’s vitamin D stores, have been reported to be associated with poor kidney outcomes. In contrast, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)₂D], the biologically active form of vitamin D rather than nutritional stores, has been less well studied, and its association with kidney prognosis remains limited. We aimed to investigate the association between baseline serum 1,25(OH)₂D levels and kidney function decline in a prospective cohort study.

We analyzed data from a single-center prospective cohort including patients with chronic kidney disease and/or heart disease. Participants were categorized into quintiles (Q1–Q5) according to serum 1,25(OH)₂D concentrations. The composite kidney outcome was defined as the first occurrence of kidney failure requiring replacement therapy (KFRT) or a ≥40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across quintiles, with Q3 as the reference. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was performed to evaluate the non-linear relationship, and effect modification by vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) use was assessed using interaction terms.

A total of 975 participants were included in the analysis. During a median follow-up of 35 months, 251 participants experienced the composite kidney outcome. Compared with Q3 (27–35 pg/mL), the adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for kidney outcomes were 1.97 (1.27–3.06) for Q1 (5–19 pg/mL), 1.67 (1.06–2.62) for Q2 (20–26 pg/mL), 1.83 (1.12–2.97) for Q4 (36–46 pg/mL), and 1.81 (1.07–3.07) for Q5 (47–126 pg/mL). RCS analysis demonstrated an L-shaped association with a turning point at approximately 27 pg/mL, below which the HR rose sharply and plateaued thereafter. The association between 1,25(OH)₂D and composite kidney outcome remained consistent irrespective of VDRA use (p for interaction = 0.527).

Lower serum 1,25(OH)₂D levels were independently associated with poor kidney outcomes, showing an L-shaped dose-response relationship. The risk increased sharply below approximately 27 pg/mL, and this association was generally consistent regardless of VDRA use.
