Correlación entre vitamina D y COVID-19
Mindray 2021-06-03
La vitamina D ayuda a combatir los virus
La vitamina D refuerza la inmunidad humoral y suprime las tormentas de citoquinas
Los niveles de vitamina D están asociados con resultados adversos en pacientes con COVID-19
Referencia
Un estudio hospitalario: Para evaluar la importancia de la suficiencia de los niveles de vitamina D en el manejo de COVID-19.
Materiales y métodos: En un estudio prospectivo de cohorte realizado en la Academia de Ciencias Médicas de Mamata (India), se dividieron 170 pacientes en 3 grupos según los niveles de vitamina D. Se utilizaron equipos Mindray CL1000i y kits CLIA para medir los niveles de vitamina D.
Niveles y clasificación de vitamina D: <20 ng/ml —— Deficiente; 20-30 ng/ml —— Insuficiente; 30-100 ng/ml —— Normal
Resultados
Conclusión
Las personas con deficiencia de vitamina D son más propensas a una infección grave por COVID-19 y también tardarán más en recuperarse. Hasta que no haya más evidencia científica respecto a la vitamina D, respaldamos firmemente que se evite su deficiencia.
