High Frequency of Vitamin D Deficiency in Ambulatory HIV-Positive Patients

Abstract: Several reports have suggested an increased prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected individuals. Vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures. We aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in an outpatient HIV clinic in Boston. We collected serum levels of 25-OH vitamin D and evaluated calcium and vitamin D intake in adult HIV-positive outpatients during the winter and spring of 2005. Fifty-seven subjects were enrolled. The prevalence of mode… Show more

“…(26) when evaluating Spanish infected males, using reference levels of serum 25(OH) D less than 10ng/mL (26). Rodriguez, in the US, also reported hypovitaminosis D in 74.4% of infected adults aged 46 years, using reference levels of serum 25(OH) D less than 32 ng/mL (27).…”

“…42,60 In some studies designed for the purpose, PTH concentration or prevalence of sHPTH was found to be consistently associated with 25OHD level and/or ART therapy (PIs and NNRTIs). 7,34,36,[39][40][41][42]45,51 Three articles, in particular, found a correlation between tenofovir use and higher parathyroid hormone concentrations. 7,36,39 In addition, Masia et al evaluated changes in PTH after the initiation of two different ART regimens.…”

“…10,35,37,40,45,51 For efavirenz, in particular, an association with low 25OHD concentration has often been suggested. 9,24,29,31,38 Similar but less consistent findings were observed for some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTIs), such as emtricitabine, tenofovir, and zidovudine.…”

“…In the present study, 94.8% of the participants were undergoing HAART, and 36.5% of the patients were taking efavirenz. Efavirenz, an NNRTI antiretroviral, has been associated with decreased serum vitamin D levels and can be a risk factor for reduced serum vitamin D levels (3) (14) . This could also help explain the possible relationship between HAART and vitamin D status.…”
