“…During this transition, the risk of nephrotoxicity may be increased, particularly with substances eliminated by the kidney [ 23 ]. In neonates, the immaturity of the tubules in early life may play a role in the mechanism for nephrotoxins with injury that increases with increasing intracellular concentration (e.g., aminoglycosides) [ 19 ]. Concurrently, a neonate’s inability to maximally concentrate their urine may predispose to intravascular volume depletion which increases the nephrotoxic potential of medications impacting kidney hemodynamics [ 23 ].…”

“…Low 25OHD levels in the maternal and cord blood have been found to be significantly associated with decreased birth weight of infants [5]. Vitamin D deficiency is common in preterm infants [6] and vitamin D supplementation in women at high risk of vitamin D deficiency leads to improved neonatal handling of Ca [2]. Many studies have shown that maternal vitamin D level might affect fetal growth.…”

“…Additionally, PT dysfunction can prevent normal uptake of filtered vitamin carrier proteins that bind to megalin and cubilin, including vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) (10,42). Failure to reclaim these carrier proteins can lead to vitamin deficiencies (5,38). This is particularly true for vitamin D, as the PT is the primary site for vitamin D reclamation and activation (11).…”
