Patients with severe burns who have higher levels of Vitamin D recover more successfully than those with lower levels, researchers claimed to have found.<\/p>\n
A study that is claimed to be the first to investigate the role of Vitamin D in recovery from burn injuries suggests that Vitamin D supplementation may be a simple and cost-effective treatment to enhance burn healing, the researchers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor burn injury severely reduces Vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve outcomes for burns patients, with minimal cost to NHS,\u201d said Janet Lord, Professor at the Institute of Inflammation and Aging in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
Vitamin D is known to have antibacterial actions that may help combat infection and therefore aid in wound healing of burn patients.<\/p>\n
In order to investigate the role of Vitamin D in recovery from burn injuries, researchers assessed the recovery progress, over one year, in patients with severe burns and correlated this with their Vitamin D levels.<\/p>\n
The study, presented at the Society for Endocrinology annual conference in Harrogate, found that patients with higher levels of Vitamin D had a better prognosis, with improved wound healing, fewer complications, and less scarring.<\/p>\n
The data also showed that burns patients tend to have lower levels of Vitamin D.<\/p>\n
These data suggest that Vitamin D supplementation immediately following burn injury may have potent health benefits to the patient, including enhanced antimicrobial activity to prevent infection, and improved wound healing, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
