Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals vitamin D deficiency correlates with advanced liver fibrosis and impaired fasting glucose in alcohol use disorder, highlighting metabolic risks.

Key Points

  • Advanced liver fibrosis and impaired fasting glucose strongly associate with vitamin D deficiency, yielding multivariable odds ratios of 4.27 and 2.51 among hospitalized patients.
  • Cross-sectional study of 243 individuals hospitalized for alcohol use disorder evaluated 25-hydroxyvitamin d concentrations using chemiluminescent immunoassays.
  • Highlights the critical need to screen for vitamin d deficiency during addiction treatment, as severe depletion may exacerbate metabolic dysregulation and hepatic injury.
