Amino acid analysis and investigation of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance were done in two groups of the patients with renal failure and osteodystrophy on the Vitamin D metabolites and analogues treatment. The results of the investigation confirm vitamin D metabolites influence on free amino acid turnover and on nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus balance. We observed significant decreases of blood amino acids and good influence on renal osteodystrophy in patients treated with the vitamin D metabolites. Vitamin D metabolites didn't influence on the retention, urinary and fecal excretion of endogenous nitrogen in patients with renal failure.
