Evaluation of D Vitamın Levels in Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Öz

The aim of this study was to evaluate 25(OH)D levels in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and to investigate the relationship between tender point count and 25(OH)D levels.Sixty one patients with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia were included in this retrospective study between 2016-2017. Demographic data of patients, 25(OH)D levels, number of tender points were evaluated. Patients were classified as vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml), vitamin D insufficient (20-30 ng/ml) and normal vitamin D level (> 30 ng /ml) according to 25(OH)D levels. The mean 25(OH)D levels of 61 patients with firomyalgia was 18.08±11.72. When vitamin D levels were examined, vitamin D deficiency was found in 40 patients with fibromyalgia and vitamin D deficiency in 14 patients with fibromyalgia. Only 7 (11,48%) of the patients with fibromyalgia had normal vitamin D levels. There was no significant correlation between 25(OH)D levels and tender point counts of patients. It was concluded that the vitamin D levels were low in the majority of patients with fibromyalgia, however the number of tender point detected in patients with fibromyalgia was not related to 25(OH)D values.

Fibromiyalji Sendromunda D Vitamin Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, fibromiyalji sendromu olan hastalarda 25(OH)D düzeyini değerlendirmek ve hassas nokta sayısı ile 25(OH)D düzeyi arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktı. Bu retrospektif çalışmaya, 2016-2017 yılları arasında fibromiyalji tanısı almış 61 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik verileri, 25(OH)D düzeyleri, hassas nokta sayıları değerlendirildi. Hastalar 25(OH)D düzeyleri göre;  D vitamini eksikliği (<20 ng/ml), D vitamini yetersizliği (20-30 ng/ml) ve normal D vitamini düzeyi olarak (>30 ng/ml)  sınıflandırıldı. Fibromiyalji tanısı olan 61 hastanın 25(OH)D düzeyleri ortalaması 18,08±11,72 idi. D vitamin düzeyleri incelendiğinde, 40 fibromiyalji hastasında D vitamini eksikliği, 14 fibromiyalji hastasında D vitamini yetersizliği olduğu saptandı. Fibromiyalji tanısı olan hastaların sadece 7’sinde (%11,48)  D vitamin düzeyleri normal seviyede bulunmuştur. Hastaların 25(OH)D düzeyleri ve hassas nokta sayıları arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon gözlemlenmedi. Fibromiyaljili  hastaların büyük çoğunluğunda vitamin D düzeylerinin düşük olduğu, bununla birlikte fibromiyaljili hastalarda saptanan hassas nokta sayısının 25(OH)D değerleriyle ilişkili olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
