Is There Any Relationship Between Circulating Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Presence of Helicobacter Pylori As Well As Gastric Inflammation Severity?

Background: Helicobacter Pylori H. Pylori and ongoing chronic gastric inflammation are the most crucial factors leading to gastric cancer. The serum 25 Hydroxyvitamin D is the fundamental keys to the proper functioning of the immune system and reduction of inflammation. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the serum level of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D and the presence of H. Pylori as well as gastric inflammation. Materials and Methods: A total of 91 18-85 years old dyspeptic patients having a standard laboratory parameter hematologic, liver and kidney without chronic medical problems and were enrolled in this study. During an upper endoscopy, at least four stomach biopsies were taken and evaluated according to Sydney classification. The serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D level was also calculated at the same time endoscopy. Results: In population, 48 52.7% were H. Pylori positive, while 41 47.3% were H. Pylori negative. The mean age, gender, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean platelet volume, CRP, ferritin, red cell distribution width, endoscopic findings, and iron were similar in two groups p0.05 . The serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels were similar in groups of H. Pylori positive and negative. Conclusion: This is the first study investigating the relationship between the serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D level and H. Pylori as well as gastric inflammation sub-groups. Consequently, we found no relationship between serum 25 Hydroxyvitamin D level and H. Pylori as well as gastric inflammation severity.
