ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the correlation between vitamin D and liver cirrhosis classification in hepatic diabetes.Methods Thirty-eight patients with hepatic diabetes,48 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 cases of healthy controls were collected.The level of serum 25-(OH)D3 was determined,and the Child-Pugh score was calculated.The correlation between pathogenesis and pathogenetic condition of hepatic diabetes was analyzed.Results The levels of serum 25-(OH)D3 in hepatic diabetes patients,type 2 diabetes patients and healthy controls were (38.23 ± 12.47),(63.33 ± 13.58) and (86.14 ± 16.25) μ mol/L,and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was negative correlation in hepatic diabetes between serum 25-(OH)D3 level and liver cirrhosis Child-Pugh score (r =-0.363,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Low level of vitamin D may be one of the pathogenesis of hepatic diabetes.
