Existing studies usually do not measure the free vitamin D in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and not consider the effect of inflammation on vitamin D levels. The aim of our study was to evaluate the concentrations of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), total and free 25-hydroxyvitamin-D (25(OH)D), and to correlate these values with the disease activity markers.

Abstract
Existing studies usually do not measure the free vitamin D in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and not consider the effect of inflammation on vitamin D levels. The aim of our study was to evaluate the concentrations of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), total and free 25-hydroxyvitamin-D (25(OH)D), and to correlate these values with the disease activity markers.File in questo prodotto:
