Plasma vitamin K1 concentrations in cystic fibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma concentrations of vitamin K1 were similar in 37 patients with cystic fibrosis (median 46 ng/l) and 16 controls (49 ng/l). The plasma concentrations were lower than those previously described in adults, but higher than in neonates. There was no association between an increase in prothrombin time and vitamin K1 plasma concentration.

Vitamin E supplementation in cystic fibrosis.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and may have a role in the protection of lung tissue against oxidative damage in cystic fibrosis. Previous studies of vitamin E status in cystic fibrosis have used plasma or serum concentrations, which vary with levels of carrier lipoproteins and hence may not reflect the concentration of vitamin E in tissues, where it is found in highest concentration in membranes. ...
متن کاملVitamin A absorption in cystic fibrosis: risk of hypervitaminosis A.
Vitamin A status was examined in nine adult cystic fibrosis patients and six adult control subjects, together with an assessment of their ability to absorb 10,000 IU of retinyl palmitate from a test meal, taken with appropriate pancreatic enzyme supplements. Median baseline values for plasma retinol and carotene, as well as median serum retinol binding protein concentrations, were significantly...
متن کاملPIVKA-II concentrations in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Montalembert et al report that PIVKA-II was detected in 33% of patients with cystic fibrosis, while vitamin K, plasma concentrations were normal.' It is astonishing that despite daily supplements of 5-10 mg vitamin K,, PIVKA-II was detectable in these patients. The authors conclude that PIVKAII is not associated with vitamin K deficiency, but with the use of antibiotics. There is some doubt as ...
متن کاملScotopic thresholds and plasma retinol in cystic fibrosis.
Patients with cystic-fibrosis (CF) often have low plasma concentrations of vitamin A. We have measured dark-adapted scotopic thresholds of 56 patients with CF, ages 4 to 34 years, either with a two-alternative forced-choice procedure or as the final threshold after a full dark-adaptation curve. Fasting plasma vitamin A alcohol (retinol) was measured in 34 of the 56 patients. The average thresho...
متن کاملSupplementation with Red Palm Oil Increases β-Carotene and Vitamin A Blood Levels in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) show decreased plasma concentrations of antioxidants due to malabsorption of lipid soluble vitamins and consumption by chronic pulmonary inflammation. β-Carotene is a major source of retinol and therefore is of particular significance in CF. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of daily intake of red palm oil (RPO) containing high amounts of β-c...
