Studies on Interrelation of Vitamin A Deficiency and Bladder Stones Formation

Serum Vitamin A, total protein, serum electrophoresis, were determined in pediatric patients with urolithiasis (mostly bladder stones) and compared to that of normal healthy volunteers. The level of Vitamin A in healthy volunteers was found to be significantly (P<0.001) higher than that of patients with urolithiasis. The amount of total serum protein, how­ever, was not significantly different i...

Several studies have shown the role of vitamin D in mineral metabolism regulation, especially calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. Some factors such as inadequate vitamin intake and liver or kidney disorders...
