Empirical Comperative Study Of Variation Blood Level Antibody Vitamin D at Different Groups Of Patients Compared Healthy Peoples

Not Applicable
Conditions
Vitamin D Deficiency
Interventions
Other: Blood samples
Registration Number
NCT02795234
Lead Sponsor
Meir Medical Center
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to detect antibodies to vitamin D in the serum at Different Groups of patients and healthy volunteer. A second goal is to find the relation between Vitamin D Antibody and Vitamin D level.

Detailed Description

Vitamin D and its metabolites have a significant role in the calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Vitamin D deficiency as measured by serum 25(OH)D below 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) may contribute to the development of osteoporosis and Osteomalacia.

Several studies have clearly demonstrated that low 25(OH)D levels are associated with more comorbidities, higher estimated cardiovascular risk and autoimmune diseases.

Exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight is the major source of vitamin D. other sources are dairy products enriched with vitamin D.

Vitamin D deficiency can result from inadequate exposure to sunlight, malabsorption including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and patients undergone resection of the small intestine and inadequate intake of dairy products enriched with vitamin D.

Another possible explanation for vitamin D deficiency is the presence of neutralizing autoantibodies to vitamin D.

The aim of this study is to detect antibodies to vitamin D in the serum at Different Groups of patients and healthy volunteer

At least 64 Blood samples of Patients and healthy volunteer will be tested for the presence of auto-antibodies using an ELISA reader.

The result will compare antibody-positive and antibody-negative individuals with respect of serum 25(OH)D level and other variables and to find the relation between Vitamin D Antibody and Vitamin D level.
