| Abstract | Background: Studies are limited on the relationship between vitamin D levels and liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B. Objectives: A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and liver stiffness in patients with hepatitis B. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and liver stiffness, measured by transient elastography (TE), were evaluated in 281 patients with hepatitis B. The predictors of liver stiffness and its relationship with 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, coinfection with hepatitis D, age, and viral load were determined using multivariate analysis. Results: A significant correlation was observed between 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and liver stiffness. Based on multivariate analysis, factors that were independently associated with advanced liver fibrosis included vitamin D level (P < 0.001), coinfection with hepatitis D (P < 0.001), and age (P < 0.001). Among 281 patients, the frequency of vitamin D deficiency (< 10 ng/mL), insufficiency (≥ 10 and < 20 ng/mL), and adequacy (≥ 30 ng/mL) was 40 (14.2%), 150 (53.4%), and 91 (32.4%), respectively. Conclusions: In hepatitis B patients, vitamin D deficiency was independently associated with advanced liver fibrosis. An increase in age and coinfection with hepatitis D were also directly related to liver stiffness. | en |
