Implications of vitamin D deficiency in lithiasic patient and in general population.

What It Covers

Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc and Parathyroid Hormone (PTH 1-84) in this review publication.

Vitamin D deficiency causes problems in mineral metabolism but also overall health.

In first place a review of the topic was carried out.

Then, in order to contextualize it in lithiasic patient, a study on Vitamin D deficiency and its possible relationship with impaired PTH levels is performed.

Why It Was Studied

A review of topics such as metabolism, epidemiology and the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with several pathologies was performed.

Besides a multivariate analysis and a correlation study between vitamin D and PTH levels was conducted in 100 lithiasic patients.

What Was Measured

Besides a multivariate analysis and a correlation study between vitamin D and PTH levels was conducted in 100 lithiasic patients.

The subject headings attached to it are Bone and Bones, Calcium, Hyperparathyroidism, Intestinal Absorption, Osteoporosis, Parathyroid Hormone and Phosphorus.

The authors tagged it with the keywords Hormona paratiroidea, Litiasis urinaria, Metabolismo fosfocálcico, Phosphocalcic metabolism, Urinary lithiasis and Vitamin D.
