Mauricio Andrews · Answer 1

Having kidney disease wearing protective clothing and sunscreen when outdoors

Explanation:

In principle, vitamin D deficiency is caused by reduced skin exposure to the sun, because this vitamin is synthesized with an enzyme precursor by the sun action. People who have kidney failure may also have this deficiency because its absorption is difficult for these patients. The skin of people who use excess sunscreen form less vitamin D.
