Summary

This prospective, single-arm interventional pilot study evaluated whether vitamin D supplementation alone improves iron status in adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are in clinical remission and have concurrent vitamin D deficiency. Because vitamin D can suppress hepcidin-a key regulator that inhibits iron absorption-the investigators hypothesized that correcting vitamin D deficiency might improve iron parameters. Adult IBD patients (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) in clinical remission with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D \
