Abstract

Introduction: a number of preventive or therapeutic strategies have been proposed to compensate for the inflammatory process during adult cardiac surgeries; none have been considered definitive. 1,25 (OH)2 Vitamin D3 is among the so called physiologic hormones with immunomodulatory effects. This study assessed the effect of oral Vitamin D on serum levels of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-? in adult CABG.Materials and methods: in a double blind placebo controlled clinical trial, 80 patients entered the study after qualifying study criteria; being divided to Vitamin D and placebo groups, serum cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-?) were measured preoperatively and also during the 1st day after the operation.Results: serum TNF-? levels were similar in the 2 groups; however, postoperative levels of IL-1 and IL-6 were significantly lower in Vitamin D group.Conclusion: the current study demonstrated that oral Vitamin D supplements could augment immunomodulatory effects in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures (mainly CABG).Keywords:?Vitamin D, Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Cytokine, Inflammation
