Abstract
Decreased level of 25-OH vitamin D is present in more than half of cholestatic patients, and is correlated positively to serum calcium. Decreased BMD was present in more than half of studied cholestatic patients correlated to the low serum calcium rather than the vitamin D level. The decreased BMD and the dental affection in cholestatic children is related to the level of hyperbilirubinemia.
