RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Vitamin D status after resection of ileum in childhood. JF Archives of Disease in Childhood JO Arch Dis Child FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health SP 283 OP 285 DO 10.1136/adc.50.4.283 VO 50 IS 4 A1 M A Preece A1 H B Valman YR 1975 UL http://adc.bmj.com/content/50/4/283.abstract AB Serum 25-hydroxycholecaliciferol levels and x-rays of the wrist were normal in children who had had extensive resections of ileum and no supplementary vitamin D for considerable periods. These results suggest that normal vitamin D status occurs in the absence of the ileum and that supplementary vitamin D is unnecessary.
