Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on 24-Hour Blood Pressure in Patients with Low 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence suggests that potential cardiovascular benefits of vitamin D supplementation may be restricted to individuals with very low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations; the effect of vitamin D on blood pressure (BP) remains unclear. We addressed this issue in a post hoc analysis of the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Styrian Vitamin D Hypertension Trial (2011−2014) with 200 hypertensive patients with 25(OH)D levels <30 ng/mL. We evaluated whether 2800 IU of vitamin D3/day or placebo (1:1) for 8 weeks affects 24-hour systolic ambulatory BP in patients with 25(OH)D concentrations <20 ng/mL, <16 ng/mL, and <12 ng/mL and whether achieved 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with BP measures. Taking into account correction for multiple testing, p values < 0.0026 were considered significant. No significant treatment effects on 24-hour BP were observed when different baseline 25(OH)D thresholds were used (all p-values > 0.30). However, there was a marginally significant trend towards an inverse association between the achieved 25(OH)D level with 24-hour systolic BP (−0.196 per ng/mL 25(OH)D, 95% CI (−0.325 to −0.067); p = 0.003). In conclusion, we could not document the antihypertensive effects of vitamin D in vitamin D-deficient individuals, but the association between achieved 25(OH)D concentrations and BP warrants further investigations on cardiovascular benefits of vitamin D in severe vitamin D deficiency.

Project description:Background and objectivesData on the association of vitamin D levels and clinical phenotype and disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is controversial. Further, the optimal dose of oral vitamin D supplementation in SLE is not clear. Thus, the present study was designed to determine the association of plasma vitamin D levels with clinical phenotype, disease variables and serology in a large, cohort of SLE from South Asia and to evaluate the short-term effect of two different dosage regimens of oral vitamin D supplementation on disease flares and plasma vitamin D levels.MethodsThis is a two-phase study. Phase I was a cross-sectional analytical study of patients from north (26.85° N) and south India (11.94° N). Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin-D(25(OH)D) was measured, and its association with demography, serology, disease activity, Galectin-9 and CXCL-10 was analysed. In phase II, patients with SLEDAI-2KG < 10 and on stable immunosuppression were randomised to receive either high dose (weekly 60,000 U*5, followed by 60,000 U monthly) or routine dose (30,000 U monthly) oral vitamin D. Outcomes were assessed at 6 months RESULTS: Phase I included 702 patients with a mean age of 29.46 + 10.7 years. The median plasma vitamin D was 22.83 (13.8-31.8) ng/ml. Deficiency (< 20 ng/ml) was seen in 41.5% of patients. Patients from South India had higher vitamin D levels (27.06 ± 20.21 ng/dl) as compared to North India (17.15 ± 16.07 ng/ml) (p < 0.01). Univariate analyses demonstrated weak negative correlation of vitamin D with SLEDAI2K and positive correlation with age. Galactin-9 had modest correlation with SLEDAI2K but not with vitamin D levels. On multiple linear regression, centre of recruitment (β = 4.37) and age (β = 0.18) predicted (p < 0.05) plasma vitamin D levels. In the phase II, 91 randomised to 2 groups completed 6 months. Median change in plasma vitamin D levels was more in high dose (9.5 versus 2.6 ng/ml; p = 0.04). There were 14 SLE flares and six minor adverse events which were equal across both groups.ConclusionVitamin D deficiency is common in SLE. Geographical location of residence is the major determinant rather than the disease activity. The IFN regulated proteins reflect disease activity independent of vitamin D levels. High-dose oral vitamin D supplementation seems safe and more effective in improving vitamin D levels in SLE.Trial registrationThe second phase of this study was a registered randomised controlled trial CTRI/2019/06/019658 [registered on: 14/06/2019].
