Severe Vitamin D Deficiency Is Not Associated with Liver Damage in Morbidly Obese Patients.

Description

A deficiency in vitamin D could be deleterious during chronic liver diseases. However, contradictory data have been published in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of the study was to compare the blood level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D) with the severity of liver lesions, in a large cohort of morbidly obese patients.
