Abstract
We thank Drs te Velde-Keyzer and de Borst1 for their interest in our trial. We agree that in the small, heterogeneous cohort of kidney transplant recipients (KTR) in ViKTORIES, the lack of evidence of benefit of vitamin K supplementation does not rule out a possible role for vitamin K to improve vascular health in specific circumstances or populations. However, we note that Drs te Velde-Keyzer and de Borst do not provide evidence of any clinical trials where this effect has been demonstrated in patients with kidney failure.
