https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2012-9-1-21

Abstract

The interest in studying synthesis, metabolism and effect of vitamin D has increased recently due to the world tendency to decrease its intake and due to new knowledge about the mechanisms of its active metabolite effects in human organism. According to certain research, deficiency of vitamin D is associated with the increased risk for the development of infectious diseases. As a result of the given study it has been established that patients with liver cirrhosis and with vitamin D deficiency often diagnose bacterial infections, which needs to determine the status of vitamin D and if necessary to correct its content in the patients with liver cirrhosis.
