- Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with small intestinal resection and may lead to secondary hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which in turn may result in increased bone turnover rate and loss of bone mineral. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, as assessed by low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in patients with small intestinal resection and to explore the relation of 25(OH)D to PTH, markers of bone turnover rate, and bone mineral density (BMD) in these patients.
