Reveal the Myths about Role of Vitamin D Level on Some Hematological Parameters

Abstract

Background: Vitamin D (Vit-D) may have effect on hematological parameters. Objective: To measure the effect of Vit-D on blood indices, our study was conducted to assess the relationship between Vit-D levels and hematological parameters. Subjects and Methods: The present study was cross section study conducted on 200 patients. Demographic data including age, sex, disease history and blood samples were withdrawn to measure serum vitamin D levels and hematological parameters. Data were reported as Mean ±SD and as frequency (percentage). ANOVA test was used to compare the mean serum levels of vitamin D in terms of sex, age or disease history. Results: Subjects enrolled into the study were 200 patients; 115(57.5%) females and 85(42.5%) males with mean age± SD of 37.6± 15.5 years. The mean serum vitamin D level in patients was 21.96 ± 14.31. There was non-significant relationship between hematological parameters and serum vitamin D level based on Pearson’s test. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it is interesting area of research that vitamin D was not the sole factor that have a role on hematological parameters as other factor may play a role as erythropoietin
