Calcitriol may be used to correct hypocalcaemia or to suppress PTH directly. 25 jug daily. There is little experience with intermittent dosing schemes in the pre-dialysis period. Hypercalcaemia is a real risk especially when calcitriol and calcium compounds are used together. It is nephrotoxic and should be avoided by rigorous monitoring.
