Abstract

Purpose: Vitamin D is a hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone health. Vitamin D also has many functions other than skeletal health. The liver is one of the main organs involved in vitamin D metabolism. Recent studies have demonstrated a very high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and/or insufficiency in patients with chronic liver disease. However, studies in this subject are scarce in children.Materials and Methods: Vitamin D levels and treatment response of children with chronic liver disease diagnosed were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 50 patients, including 17 (34%) female and 33 (66%) male patients, who were being followed for 4 years, were recruited.Results: Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency was detected in 29 (48%) of 50 patients with a mean age of 7.83 (± 3.70) years at the time of diagnosis. Mean 25-OH vitamin D level was 12.79 (± 4.63) ng/ml ). In 24 (82.8%) patients with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency vitamin D level was recovered after treatment, whereas in 5 patients (17.2%) there was insufficient response. In the presence of cholestasis, the response to treatment was observed to decrease.Conclusion: Since vitamin D levels in patients with chronic liver disease may be low, patients should be examined and treated in this respect. This would also provides support for the current disease.

Özet

Amaç: D vitamini kalsiyum metabolizması ve iskelet sağlığında önemli rol oynayan bir hormondur. Ayrıca D vitamininin iskelet sağlığı dışı birçok fonksiyona sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Karaciğer, vitamin D metabolizmasına katılan başlıca organlardan biridir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar kronik karaciğer hastalığına sahip hastalarda vitamin D eksikliğinin ve yetersizlik prevalansının yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ancak çocukluk çağında bu konuda az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik karaciğer hastalığı tanısı ile izlenen çocukların vitamin D düzeyleri ve tedavi yanıtları geriye dönük olarak dosyalarından değerlendirilmiştir. Dört yıllık dönemde izlenen 17 (%34) kız, 33 (%66) erkek olmak üzere toplam 50 hastanın dosya kaydı verilerine ulaşıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 50 hastanın tanı anındaki yaş ortalamaları 7,83 (±3,70) yıl olup 29’unda (%48) D vitamin düzeylerinde eksiklik veya yetersizlik saptandı (ortalama 25-OH vitamin D: 12,79 (± 4,63) ng/ml). Tedavi sonrası vitamin D düzeyi eksik veya yetersiz olan hastaların %82,8’inde düzelme sağlanırken, 5 hastada (%17,2) yeterli cevap yoktu. Kolestaz durumunda tedaviye verilen cevabın azaldığı görüldü. Sonuç: Kronik karaciğer hastalığı nedeniyle izlenen hastalardaki vitamin D düzeyleri düşük olabileceğinden, bu açıdan hastaların incelenmesi ve tedavi edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu durum mevcut hastalığı için de bir destek sağlamaktadır.
