Among these factors, the connection between vitamin D levels and the outcomes of COVID-19 has become an increasingly intriguing field of study. \u0000Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin renowned for its importance in bone health and immune system regulation. According to the latest studies, inadequate levels of vitamin D might be linked to a higher susceptibility to various respiratory infections. As a result, researchers are investigating the potential impact of vitamin D on the severity of COVID-19. \u0000Multiple observational investigations have found a link among a lack of vitamin D and a higher vulnerability to respiratory infections such as COVID-19. Some studies have revealed that individuals with inadequate vitamin D levels had more severe COVID-19 symptoms, greater rates of admission to the hospital, and a greater mortality rate than those with adequate vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is thought to help regulate the immune response by influencing both the adaptive as well as the innate immune systems. Deficiency may affect immunological function, resulting in an altered antiviral response and increased inflammation, which may contribute to the development of COVID-19. \u0000It is crucial to emphasize, however, that the existing research on the connection with insufficient vitamin D levels and the severity of COVID-19 are continuously evolving, with contradicting findings reported. There are significant constraints to the extant research, particularly differences in study methodologies, sample sizes, also populations investigated. Furthermore, it remains uncertain whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity, as the observed relationships might be impacted by other confounding variables. Given vitamin D's possible involvement in immune function and the existing data linking it to COVID-19 severity, further well-designed research, particularly randomized controlled trials, are needed to demonstrate a causal relationship.","PeriodicalId":347955,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advance Research in Medical & Health Science (ISSN: 2208-2425)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117258602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who undergo surgery, have an infection, or are under extreme stress can also develop DKA. The body generates the hormone adrenaline to combat infection and stress, but this can have a negative effect on blood glucose levels (adrenaline is counterinsulin). This can worsen if the patient refuses to take diabetes medication or inject insulin during stressful or infectious situations. The fundamental components of the pathophysiological mechanisms at play in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) include shifts in hormone levels and the ensuing inflammatory response. Alterations in the concentration of hormones lead to shifts in the production and consumption of glucose, as well as an increase in lipolysis and the formation of ketone bodies. Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and ertugliflozin are agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults. Acting on proteins, the four agents are SGLT2 inhibitor class agents. SGLT-2 is expressed in the kidney's proximal tubule. This may result in a decrease in filtered glucose reabsorption, a decrease in the renal threshold for glucose (RTG), and an increase in glucose excretion via urine. Diabetes patients treated with sodium–glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have also been reported to experience DKA. The results of a study indicate that DKA is uncommon among T2DM patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors.","PeriodicalId":347955,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advance Research in Medical & Health Science (ISSN: 2208-2425)","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124287195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
