Abstract:
Sepsis is a common condition in the intensive care unit and is associated with high mortality.Vitamin D deficiency in septic patients is more common than in their healthy peers,indicating that it may be identified as a predictor of sepsis in the critically ill and that Vitamin D deficiency may also be associated with adverse prognosis in septic patients.The immunomodulatory role of Vitamin D,the interaction between Vitamin D and infectious diseases,the status of Vitamin D deficiency in sepsis cases and the relationship between Vitamin D levels and prognosis of septic patients are reviewed in this article.
