Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Age = 18 years old; 2) Undergoing peritoneal dialysis for at least 1 month; 3) Serum total vitamin D level <30ng/mL; 4) Meet the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia: decreased skeletal muscle mass + decreased skeletal muscle strength or/and decreased physiological function; 5) Have the ability to understand the nature of the research, voluntarily participate in the research, and sign the informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Serum calcium >2.52mmol/L or serum phosphorus >1.51mmol/L; 2) Unable to complete bioelectrical impedance tests; 3) Unable to complete grip strength and physiological function assessment tests; 4) In a catabolic state, including but not limited to malignant tumors, HIV infection, or recurrent peritonitis, etc.; 5) Concurrent with critical illness, including but not limited to advanced heart disease, or severe lung disease; 6) Major surgery is planned during the study period; 7) Poor compliance or treatment and follow-up are not expected to be completed; 8) Considering the patient's interests or other reasons, the researchers believe that the patient is not suitable to participate in this study.
