Transient effectiveness of vitamin D2 therapy in pediatric cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract: Vitamin D(2) 50,000 IU daily for 28 days was effective in correcting vitamin D insufficiency in approximately 50% of subjects. However, almost half of successfully treated patients were unable to maintain normal 25-OHD levels >6 months after completion of therapy, implying that this effect is transient.

“…In the present sample, 50% had low (<30 ng/mL) 25D, which was an improvement from the 90% of children and young adults found insufficient in CF Bones Study. It was similar to the 46 to 56% insufficiency found in more recent studies in the US, UK and Australia (14, 38, 4143). The serum 25D improvement over time was likely due to enhanced clinical monitoring and increased vitamin D supplementation in patients with CF and PI.…”

“…However, if concentrations constantly above 30 ng/ml are to be reached, as recommended, (Aris et al, 2005) current guidelines seem inadequate, and a supplementation with higher doses of vitamin D would be required. This brings us to the problem that in CF patients it proves extremely difficult to correct low 25 (OH) D serum concentrations with the aid of oral supplements Green et al, 2008Green et al, , 2010. High doses of oral vitamin D supplements for example, 50 000 IU of ergocalciferol daily for 28 days was effective in correcting vitamin D insufficiency in 50% of the subjects.…”

However, almost half of the successfully Sunlight determines vitamin D concentration in CF E Robberecht et al treated patients were unable to maintain normal 25 (OH) D levels more than 6 months after completion of the therapy (Green et al, 2010). A recent study of Khazai et al (2009), compared three treatment modes to correct low 25 (OH) concentrations.…”

“…The majority of children and adults with cystic fibrosis worldwide are vitamin D insufficient, irrespective of their exocrine pancreatic function [4][5][6][7]. However, there is as yet no evidence for a benefit of vitamin D supplementation in cystic fibrosis, not even for bone health [8].…”
