Factors associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Annals of Hepatology(2015)
Abstract
Introduction. Lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels have been observed in cirrhotic patients and have been related to disease severity. However, most previous studies included patients with very advanced disease, lacking an adequate control for other variables that could interfere with vitamin D levels. We sought to investigate the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and the factors related to its occurrence.
