Clinically, resistance to colchicine is defined as three or more attacks within the last 6 months period while using >= 2 mg/day colchicine. Previous studies have shown decreased vitamin D levels in FMF patients compared with healthy controls. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether vitamin D levels differ between CR and non-CR FMF patients. This study included 64 FMF patients who were being followed in Nephrology Clinic of Samsun Research and Education Hospital for at least 1 year. FMF was diagnosed according to the criteria defined by Livneh et al. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) concentration (ng/mL) was detected in all FMF patients who were not in an acute attack period. From 64 patients 29 were accepted as CR. Mean 25-OHD level was 9.39 +/- 1.00 ng/mL in CR patients and 18.48 +/- 1.09 ng/mL in colchicine responsive patients (p |
