Over half of patients with symptoms of gastroparesis have low vitamin D levels, which is linked to heightened nausea, vomiting, and gastric neuromuscular dysfunction.
In this observational study, researchers evaluated 513 patients, aged 18 years or older, with symptoms of gastroparesis who are included in the registry of the Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium. Patients were enrolled across seven tertiary clinical centers in the United States.
Low vitamin D levels were defined as 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels < 30 ng/mL, with 20 to < 30 ng/mL considered insufficient and < 20 ng/mL considered deficient. Low vitamin D levels were associated with significantly higher nausea subscores and individual retching scores in patients with gastroparesis and with normal gastric emptying and with higher individual vomiting scores in patients with gastroparesis. It was not associated with increased fullness or bloating in either group.
