ABSTRACT
Vitamin D is typically acquired from sunlight exposure (specifically UVB radiation) and a combination of natural and fortified foods. However, patients with short bowel syndrome are at significantly increased risk of developing suboptimal vitamin D status. Notably, beyond the key role in calcium and phosphate balance and bone structure, vitamin D has been proved to be associated with modulation of the immune system, enhancement of intestinal barrier function, stimulation of intestinal epithelial cell turnover, and regulation of the endocrine. In this review, we summarize the status and biological function of vitamin D in short bowel syndrome.
