Background: Previous studies have noticed the high incidence of suboptimal vitamin D VtD status and bone loss in short bowel syndrome SBS with parenteral nutrition PN dependence. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of suboptimal VtD status and bone loss in adult SBS even after weaning off PN.
Serum hydroxyvitamin D OHD was measured by radioimmunoassay. Medical records and various laboratory parameters were collected in all participants. Results: Suboptimal VtD status was identified in all individuals, including 3 5. Residual small bowel length B, 0. Overall, only 2 patients presented a normal BMD; osteopenia and osteoporosis were noted in 41 There were no other demographic characteristics or clinical examinations associated with suboptimal VtD levels and bone loss.
Despite routine oral VtD supplementation, most patients did not achieve satisfactory status. This emphasizes the critical importance of routine surveillance of OHD and BMD, as well as consideration of alternative methods of supplementation after weaning off PN. Bibliographic information.
