Liver cirrhosis is considered a progressive disease that can eventually result in death. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in patients with cirrhosis. Few studies have been conducted on the effect of vitamin D supplementation in patients with cirrhosis.
The aim of this study was to identify the effect of vitamin D supplementation on lipid profile, glycaemic indices and liver function tests in patients with cirrhosis.
Sixty patients with cirrhosis were involved in this double-blind, randomised controlled clinical trial. During the intervention, patients received one 50 000 IU pearl of vitamin D supplement or placebo per week for 12 weeks. Before and after supplementation, we assessed serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin-D3 (25(OH) D3), glycaemic indices (insulin, haemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)), lipid profile and liver function tests.
Baseline variables were not significantly different between groups. The present study indicated that over the 12 weeks, vitamin D supplementation significantly increased serum 25(OH) D3 (p<0.001), and also significantly decreased FBG (p=0.006), and HOMA-IR (p=0.001).
Vitamin D supplementation significantly improves FBG and HOMA-IR as well as serum 25(OH) D in patients with cirrhosis.
The protocol of the study was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) (IRCT20140502017522N2).
肝硬化被认为是一种可最终导致死亡的进行性疾病。维生素D缺乏在肝硬化患者中普遍存在。关于补充维生素D对肝硬化患者影响的研究较少。
本研究旨在确定补充维生素D对肝硬化患者血脂谱、血糖指标和肝功能检查的影响。
60例肝硬化患者参与了这项双盲、随机对照临床试验。在干预期间,患者每周接受一粒50000IU的维生素D补充剂或安慰剂,共12周。在补充前后,我们评估了血清25-羟基维生素D3(25(OH)D3)、血糖指标(胰岛素、糖化血红蛋白、空腹血糖(FBG)和胰岛素抵抗稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR))、血脂谱和肝功能检查。
两组间基线变量无显著差异。本研究表明,在12周内,补充维生素D显著提高了血清25(OH)D3(p<0.001),同时也显著降低了FBG(p=0.006)和HOMA-IR(p=0.001)。
补充维生素D可显著改善肝硬化患者的FBG、HOMA-IR以及血清25(OH)D水平。
该研究方案已在伊朗临床试验注册中心(IRCT)注册(IRCT20140502017522N2)。
