Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is higher in patients with Paget's disease of bone compared with age-matched controls

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate if vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in patients with Paget's disease of bone (PDB) than in age-matched controls. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We measured serum 25-OHD in 28 untreated patients with PDB and two control groups: 284 elderly men from an ongoing cohort from our department, and 151 postmenopausal women seen in our outpatient clinic for routine medical evaluation. RESULTS: The mean ± SD serum 25-OHD was significantly lower in subjects with PDB (23.76 ± 6.29 ng/mL) than in the … Show more

“…Several studies, including recent surveys in large patient cohorts, demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency (25OHD levels < 20 ng/ml) is frequent in PDB [ 126 , 131 , 132 ]. As previously outlined, N-BP treatment (particularly in case of potent intravenous compounds) may result in hypocalcemia that is more common in case of vitamin D deficiency.…”

“…For patients with different diseases and receiving long-term medication, studies ( 63 65 ) showed that several drugs (e.g. antiepileptic agents, glucocorticoids, antiretroviral or anti-oestrogen drugs) interfered with vitamin D metabolism, which resulted in patients being more likely to have low vitamin D status.…”
