    Abstract Background: Assessing vitamin D status, typically evaluated using serum or plasma 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration, is complex because of various influencing factors.
    Methods: Seasonality significantly affects intra-individual variability in 25(OH)D levels. This variation can be addressed by employing cosinor functions that are tailored to the geographical location of the patient to correct for seasonal effects. In addition to seasonality, genetic factors, such as DBP polymorphism and body composition, particularly adiposity, play crucial roles. Dialysis patients with DBP 2-2 phenotype exhibit higher vitamin D requirements. Genotyping/phenotyping of DBP allows for better tailored vitamin D supplementation. The lipid-soluble nature of vitamin D also interacts with plasma components such as serum triglycerides, which can influence vitamin D measurements. Adiposity, which is negatively correlated with vitamin D concentration, necessitates body mass-based mathematical adjustments for accurate vitamin D assessment in subjects with extreme BMI values.
    Conclusions: Accordingly, vitamin D replacement therapy must be personalized, taking into account factors such as body size and seasonal variations, to effectively reach the target serum 25(OH)D concentrations.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health concern with a complex etiological landscape. Among the numerous factors implicated, vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) has emerged as a focal point of scientific studies because of its critical role in vitamin D metabolism and immune modulation. The relationship between VDBP and CKD reveals a complex web of molecular and biochemical details that have great potential for improving diagnostic understanding and treatment strategies for CKD. This review summarizes the multifaceted roles of VDBP, including its molecular dynamics, interactions with vitamin D, and subsequent implications for kidney function. The main focus of the discussion is how VDBP affects bone mineral homeostasis, highlighted by the dysregulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, which is a part of the pathophysiology of CKD. The discussion also touches on the immunomodulatory scope of VDBP and how it may reduce the chronic inflammatory environment that accompanies CKD. The diagnostic potential of VDBP as a biomarker for CKD has been rigorously examined, highlighting its capacity to improve early detection and prognostic assessment. Modification of VDBP activity has the potential to slow the course of CKD and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, a detailed examination of the genetic polymorphisms of

    Abstract Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), by-products of glucose metabolism, have been linked to the emergence of cardiovascular disorders (CVD). AGEs can cause tissue damage in four different ways: (1) by altering protein function, (2) by crosslinking proteins, which makes tissue stiffer, (3) by causing the generation of free radicals, and (4) by activating an inflammatory response after binding particular AGE receptors, such as the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). It is suggested that the soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) blocks ligand-mediated pro-inflammatory and oxidant activities by serving as a decoy. Therefore, several studies have investigated the possible anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant characteristics of sRAGE, which may help lower the risk of CVD. According to the results of various studies, the relationship between circulating sRAGE, cRAGE, and esRAGE and CVD is inconsistent. To establish the potential function of sRAGE as a therapeutic target in the treatment of cardiovascular illnesses, additional studies are required to better understand the relationship between sRAGE and CVD. In this review, we explored the potential function of sRAGE in different CVD, highlighting unanswered concerns and outlining the possibilities for further investigation.
