Vitamin D has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects, and previous studies have proposed a role of vitamin D deficiency in multiple autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis.
The aim of this study was to investigate serum vitamin D levels in psoriatic patients and compare them with levels in controls.
This study was carried out in 50 psoriasis patients. Serum vitamin D was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The mean serum vitamin D levels in psoriatic patients and controls were 14.92 ± 6.31 and 12.52 ± 4.54 ng/mL, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (P = .06). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) was 84.0% in psoriatic patients and 93.0% in controls (P = .21).
Most of the patients with psoriasis had vitamin D deficiency, which may have contributed to the evolution of their psoriasis. However, considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Iran, no difference was noted between the psoriatic patients and the controls.
维生素D已被证明具有免疫调节作用,先前的研究提出维生素D缺乏在包括银屑病在内的多种自身免疫性疾病中起作用。
本研究旨在调查银屑病患者的血清维生素D水平,并将其与对照组的水平进行比较。
本研究对50例银屑病患者进行。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法测定血清维生素D。
银屑病患者和对照组的血清维生素D平均水平分别为14.92±6.31和12.52±4.54 ng/mL。差异无统计学意义(P = 0.06)。银屑病患者维生素D缺乏(<20 ng/mL)的患病率为84.0%,对照组为93.0%(P = 0.21)。
大多数银屑病患者存在维生素D缺乏,这可能促使了他们银屑病的发展。然而,考虑到伊朗维生素D缺乏的高患病率,银屑病患者与对照组之间未发现差异。
