https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/derm.24808

> # A pilot study assessing the effect of prolonged administration of high daily doses of vitamin D on the clinical course of vitiligo and psoriasis > > ## Abstract > > Autoimmunity has been associated with vitamin D deficiency and > resistance, with gene polymorphisms related to vitamin D metabolism > frequently described in affected patients. High doses of vitamin D3 > may conceivably compensate for inherited resistance to its biological > effects. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of > prolonged high-dose vitamin D3 treatment of patients with psoriasis > and vitiligo. Nine patients with psoriasis and 16 patients with > vitiligo received vitamin D3 35,000 IU once daily for six months in > association with a low-calcium diet (avoiding dairy products and > calcium-enriched foods like oat, rice or soya β€œmilk”) and hydration > (minimum 2.5 L daily). All psoriasis patients were scored according to > β€œPsoriasis Area and Severity Index” (PASI) at baseline and after > treatment. Evaluation of clinical response of vitiligo patients > required a quartile grading scale. All patients presented low vitamin > D status (serum 25(OH)D3 ≀ 30 ng/mL) at baseline. After treatment > 25(OH)D3 levels significantly increased (from 14.9 Β± 7.4 to 106.3 Β± > 31.9 ng/mL and from 18.4 Β± 8.9 to 132.5 Β± 37.0 ng/mL) and PTH levels significantly decreased (from 57.8 Β± 16.7 to 28.9 Β± 8.2 pg/mL and from > 55.3 Β± 25.0 to 25.4 Β± 10.7 pg/mL) in patients with psoriasis and vitiligo respectively. PTH and 25(OH)D3 serum concentrations > correlated inversely. The PASI score significantly improved in all > nine patients with psoriasis. Fourteen of 16 patients with vitiligo > had 25–75% repigmentation. Serum urea, creatinine and calcium (total > and ionized) did not change and urinary calcium excretion increased > within the normal range. High-dose vitamin D3 therapy may be effective > and safe for vitiligo and psoriasis patients. > > Keywords: : vitiligo, psoriasis, vitamin D, 25(OH)D3, high dose, calcium, [treatment](https://www.tandfonline.com
