Correlation of serum 25(OH)D (ng/ml) with serum calcium (mg/dl), inorganic phosphorous (mg/dl) and alkaline phosphatase levels (IU/L)
| Total (n = 95) | Median value (IQR) | Spearman’s rank correlation with serum 25(OH)D (ng/ml) |
|---|---|---|
| Serum calcium, mg/dl | 9.5 (9.0–10.0) | rs = 0.001 |
| P = 0.99 | ||
| Serum phosphorous, mg/dl | 5.0 (4.6–5.5) | rs = 0.134 |
| P = 0.23 | ||
| Serum alkaline phosphatase, IU/L | 239 (186–300) | rs = −0.054 |
| P = 0.63 |
* P < 0.05 was considered significant
