Abstract

Background: Some studies suggest that besides the known effects of VITAMIN D on calcium hemostasis and bone safety, it might also play a non-classic role in our body such as in chronic hepatic disorders. So, considering the high prevalence of VITAMIN D deficiency and HCV in our society, the aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of VITAMIN D in HCV patients compared to a control group.Methods: In this case-control study, 60 HCV patients and 60 healthy pupils were selected and serum level of VITAMIN D was measured and compared between the two groups.Findings: The mean serum level of VITAMIN D in the case and control group was 26.23±18.53 and 29.6±13.61, respectively and no statistical difference was reported between the two groups (P=0.260).Vitamin D insufficiency was found in 3 patients (5.0%) in the case group and none of the control group. VITAMIN D deficiency was found in 43 (71.7%) of the case group but only 6 (10.0%) of the control group and this difference between the two group was statistically significant (P=0.033).Conclusion: According to the results of this study, VITAMIN D deficiency in HCV patients was higher than the normal population and high prevalence of VITAMIN D deficiency can affect other organs and decrease the quality of HCV treatment. Thus, measuring the serum levels of VITAMIN D in HCV patients and prescribing VITAMIN D supplements are recommended.
