Vitamin D Status and Virologic Response to HCV Therapy in the HALT-C and VIRAHEP-C Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Conclusion

Higher vitamin D status was not beneficially associated with responses to therapy; if anything, patients with higher vitamin D concentrations were less likely to attain SVR. Our data do not support a role for vitamin D supplementation as an adjuvant therapy for HCV.
