Avoiding vitamin D deficiency can be beneficial in prevention of adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes. Because of increasing level of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) in pregnancy, the determination of free-25OHD should be required, whose adequate measure is a challenge for the analytics. Literature data are contradictory whether total-or free-25OHD fraction is more reliable taking into consideration the methods of measurement. Data of publications on free or total, bi...

Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) based on routinely determined total-25-hydroxyvitaminD (t-25OHD) levels. The present knowledge is contradictory whether the direct measured free-25OHD (dm_f-25OHD) or the calculated free-25OHD (c_f-25OHD) is the best indicator of the vitamin D supply for CRF patients. Adding methods to our previously described first experiences on this subject, in this study we aimed to serve newer data to make this qu...
