vitamin D PTH deficiency insufficiency diagnosis treatment

Abstract

Objective: To establish a position statement to standardize the recommendations of the Brazilian Association of Nutrology related to vitamin D deficiency management in the clinical practice with an emphasis on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Methods: We present an update on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency, based on the most recent scientific evidence, including an extensive data review of PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO. Results: Based on the recent information obtained in contrast to previous published Brazilian and American guidelines, the authors drafted the agreement, which was approved by the scientific board of the Brazilian Association of Nutrology. Conclusion: After a critical analysis of the most recent data, a scientific update regarding vitamin D management was presented resulting in the present institutional guide from the Brazilian Association of Nutrology about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this condition in Brazil.
