Abstract

Vitamin D displays many extraosseous immunomodulatory effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of vitamin D in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to analyze the associations between the concentration of the vitamin and clinical manifestations.

Serum levels between 10 and 30 ng/ml were classified as vitamin D insufficiency, while concentrations
