Patients with chronic renal failure often need supplements that contain an active form of vitamin D because the kidney fails to complete the final step in activating vitamin D. Supplements of fat-soluble vitamins (including A and K) are not needed; vitamin A toxicity has sometimes de-veloped in hemodialysis patients. Supplements of vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins may be needed but do not need to be given in an active form.
