Burns patients are at a greater risk of low vitamin D levels due to lack of ultraviolet rays reaching the skin during prolonged hospital admission and sun avoidance post-burn injury.

Three different vitamin D metabolites were analysed to identify if, and where, in the synthesis pathway any insufficiencies may be occurring. Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) was used to concurrently assess vitamin D3 (25OHD3 or Calcifediol), its epimer (3epi-25(OH)D3), and its precursor Pre Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), in the plasma from 193 Australian paediatric burn patients, compared to 46 healthy controls.
