Abstract Background: A lack of vitamin D (VDD) or iron (Ir) may result in a number of health problems in youngsters, even if they show no symptoms. The probable link between the two is still a mystery., Aim and objectives; to study the prevalence of vit D deficiency among iron –deficient and normal children, Subjects and methods; The research was conducted in Aboelrish Pediatric Hospital Cairo University’s Hematology Outpatient Clinic on 60 patients, 30 of whom had iron-deficient anaemia and 30 of whom had normal anaemia (30 control subjects) , Result; There is statistically significant positive correlation between vitamin D level and both hemoglobin level, RDW and MCH. There is statistically significant negative correlation between vitamin D level and serum ferritin, Conclusion; Even while the link between vitamin D deficiency and anaemia risk (particularly iron-deficiency anaemia) is still disputed, the noncalcemic activities of the vitamin and its analogues have the potential for a number of innovative therapeutic uses. However, several studies show that vitamin D deficiency is directly linked to anaemia of chronic illness or inflammation. Vitamin D may be able to mobilise iron reserves and enhance erythropoiesis and haemoglobin production by reducing proinflammatory cytokines and directly blocking hepcidin expression., |
