Preliminary findings on vitamin D 25‐OH levels in urine analysis: implications for clinical practice.

A preliminary study published in BJU International explores the potential link between vitamin D levels in urine analysis and the risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and sepsis. The study analyzed urine samples from 121 subjects and found a significant difference in vitamin D levels between individuals with positive and negative urine analyses, with higher levels detected in the latter group. The study suggests that low urine vitamin D levels may be associated with an increased risk of UTIs. Further research is needed to validate these findings and determine the utility of assessing vitamin D levels in urine as a biomarker for UTI risk. [Extracted from the article]
