The majority of circulating total 25-hydroxi-D-vitamin (t-25OHD) is bound to proteins – 90% to vitamin D binding protein (DBP) belonging to the alfa-2-globulin (a-2gl) fraction and 10% to albumin (ALB). Nowadays the t-25OHD level is the most accepted marker of vitamin D supply in physiological states. Our aim was to investigate the t-25OHD concentration in clinical conditions with low albumin levels.Methods: Seventy-three patients (39 men, 34 women;...
