Vitamin D, immunomodulatory actions, pregnancy outcomesAbstract
Background: Vitamin D was involved deeply in human life such as bone metabolism, cell functioning, and reproduction. It is also involved in implantation and placental development. It displays anti proliferative and immunomodulatory actions.
Methods: This study was included 40 antenatal cases. The duration of this study was over a period of one year. This study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology at PMCH Udaipur.
Results: This study showed that the distribution by pregnancy outcomes for maternal serum vitamin D level association & correlation. Only fetal birth with showed significant correlation with maternal serum vitamin D. Placental weight and Apgar scores at 1-minute and 5 minutes show no significant correlation with maternal serum vitamin D levels.
Conclusions: This study concludes that beneficial to determine vitamin D status in third trimester also. Then it would be possible to indicate the possible interaction of vitamin D in pregnancy outcomes.
