Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is significantly prevalent in chronic kidney disease. Data in the literature are however scarce about the effects of this deficiency on bone metabolism in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Moreover, it is still debated whether low vitamin D levels should be normalized in HD patients. In this paper, we report two cases showing the deleterious consequences of vitamin D deficiency in HD patients which is characterised by hypophosphatemia, hypocalcemia and osteomalacia (OM) leading to bone fractures. As vitamin D repletion is an easy way to treat OM, this report underlines the importance of monitoring and correction of vitamin D deficiency in this population.
