Abstract

The article discusses a study which examined the appropriate goal level for 25-hydroxyvitamin D in cystic fibrosis (CF). The study involved 216 patients with CF who were treated with vitamin D2. It was discovered that inadequate serum 25OHD levels are common in adults with CF and are associated with elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
