The serum concentration of 25(OH)D that is felt to constitute adequacy is a subject of much debate and the recommended threshold used to define VDD is highly variable between guidelines and consensus statements (Table1), and this can limit the comparison of reported prevalence between studies. T...

All studies done with D2 will need to be repeated with D3; if the studies were negative, they need to be repeated to see if they are also negative with D3; if they were positive, they need to be repeated with D3 to see if the effect size is the same or not. Most milk now co...
Conclusion As 84% of vitamin D deficient children were asymptomatic, we conclude that "at risk" children should be proactively investigated. Early treatment of vitamin D insufficiency would prevent the subsequent necessity for more expensive treatment of deficiency. As a significant proportion received ...
Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency (VDD) is a very prevalent condition in the general population. Vitamin D is necessary for optimal bone mineralization, but apart from the bone effects, preclinical and observational studies have suggested that vitamin D may have pleiotropic actions, whereas VDD ...
guidelines22only 10% of subjects had sufficient vitamin D concentrations (> 75 nmol/L), 63% were deficient (< 50 nmols/L) and 27% were insufficient (between 50 and 75 nmols/L). Gender-wise, state-wise and area-wise proportion of vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency is illustrated ...
Currently all international guidelines recommend measuring calcidiol or 25-OH vitamin D levels (not calcitriol) in patients with CKD. Calcidiol levels represent the biochemical reflection of adequate exposure to and storage of vitamin D and the presence of vitamin D insufficiency....

Institutionalised older adults are inherently at risk of vitamin D deficiency as a result of a lack of sun exposure and dietary insufficiency and may have worse outcomes with COVID-19. There is also growing concern that the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, who produce less...
VIT D levels were normally distributed and ANOVA test was applied to analyse the data. In addition, fecal pancreatic elastase-1 (FE), as marker of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (ScheBo Biotech AG, Germany), was also measured in patients with pancreatic diseases. RESULTS: The 3 groups of ...
