To Assess the Serum Vitamin D in Vitiligo Patients: SMHRC and AVBR Hospital of Vidarbha Region

Abstract

Introduction: Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that is characterized by skin patches which lose their
pigment. The affected skin patches are becoming white and typically have narrow margins. The skin hair
can also turn white. Mouth and nose inside might also be involved. Occasionally, the vitiligo “comes in
families,” implying a genetic origin. It ensures that the risk of other family members contracting vitiligo
is not predictable. Approximately 25 to 50 per cent of people with vitiligo have a parent with vitiligo, and
around 6 per cent have vitiligo siblings. Low serum levels of vitamin D have been associated with many
autoimmune disorders and a number of other skin conditions. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease which is
characterized by immune processes that kill melanocytes. Melanocytes express vitamin D receptors, and
vitamin D status can affect their function.
Objective: To assess serum Vit-D levels of vitiligo patients and contrast the outcomes and controls.
Material and Method: In all out, 50 vitiligo patients and 50 controls were taken on the examination.
Vit-D levels were estimated from blood tests. Gathering correlations were performed utilizing fitting factual
strategies.
Observation and Results: The patients had lower serum Vit-D levels than the controls, yet this distinction
was not noteworthy (p = 0.570).
Conclusion: It stays obscure whether Vit-D inadequacy causes vitiligo. Bigger controlled investigations are
required to demonstrate whether low flowing VIT-D is a causative factor in vitiligo.
