Vitamin D Deficiency and its Effects on Patients with Multiple Myeloma
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Results: Of 31 patients with MM, 19 cases were male. The median age was 63 (Range: 49-90 years). The mean vit-D level was 11.9±7.6ng/ml, and was low in 20 of 33 cases (93%). The vit D level was significantly lower in cases whom a greater number of chemotherapy cycles was administered (p= 0.033). There was no statistically significant relationship between blood vit D level and bone fracture development (p= 0.55), DEXA results (p= 0.703), International Staging System (ISS) stage, and whether ABMT had been performed or not (p= 0.752).
