25-hydroxy Vitamin D Serum levels in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Children Compared to Controls
Authors
Abstract:
Background 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) VitD] deficiency is a highly prevalent condition, present in approximately 30% to 50% of the general population. A growing body of data suggests that low 25(OH) VitD levels may adversely affect cardiovascular health. The present study aimed to measure the serum levels of 25(OH) Vit D in Congenital heart disease (CHD) children compared to healthy children. Materials and Methods A case-control study performed on 270 children who equally distributed in case and controls and selected randomly from those who referred to the Ali Asghar Clinic and Ali Ebne Abi Talib Hospital in Zahedan, Iran, in the year of 2017. In patients, CHD diagnosed based on echocardiographic and clinical tests by pediatric cardiologist, Serum 25(OH) Vit D measured by monoby kit made of Italy. Results The level of 25(OH) Vit D serum means were lower in case (31.68±17.37) compared to controls (42.20±14.31) significantly (P

Investigating Vitamin D Serum Levels in Children with Congenital Heart Disease Compared with the Healthy Control Group
Background Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has an important function in bone metabolism, muscle activity, nervous system, and immunity. In this study, we compared the vitamin D level of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) with healthy control. Materials and Methods This case-control study was conducted on 56 ...

Studies have shown a relationship between vitamin D and psoriasis. We compared serum levels of vitamin D of 20 psoriasis patients and 20 controls. The median vitamin D level was 22.80 ± 4.60 ng/ml; the median in the cases was 23.55 ± 7.6 ng/ml, and in controls 22.35 ± 3.10 ng/ml (p = 0.73). Only 2 cases and 4 controls had sufficient levels of vitamin D, although without statistical significance...
full textDoes rosuvastatin increase serum levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D?
An observational study and a "clinical trial" seem to prove that rosuvastatin (but not fluvastatin) dramatically increases serum levels of 25-(OH)-D3 (three-fold above starting values). A critical analysis of the two publications, presented below, raises serious concerns. Conclusions from these two studies have already been drawn in the scientific literature.It is argued that claiming or believ...

Serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations were measured in 49 patients with hepatobiliary disease in infancy. Low mean values were found in groups of patients with biliary atresia, neonatal hepatitis, choledochal cyst, and chronic intrahepatic cholestatic syndrome. In the group of patients with surgically repaired biliary atresia, the mean value did not differ from normal. Parenteral v...
