Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D: an outcome prognosticator in human sepsis.

Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D: an outcome prognosticator in human sepsis.

In sepsis, the vitamin D active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) may play a crucial role by its action to produce cathelicidin and improve endothelial barrier function, such that a deficiency in 1,25(OH)2D is associated with poor outcome. To test our hypothesis, we performed analysis...
