Biochemical status in epileptic patients during treatment with vitamin D. A controlled therapeutic trial.
In a controlled therapeutic trial, serum calcium and serum alkaline phophatase levels were measured levels were measured during treatment with different doses of vitamin D2 in 45 epileptic inpatients. The results demonstrate that, in spite of the curative effect of vitamin D2 with regard to total body calcium, this vitamin has no effect on serum calcium or serum alkaline phosphatase in anticonvulsant osteomalacia.
