Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in children with HOKPP, and vitamin D levels correlated with various disease characteristics. We recommend routine screening for vitamin D levels in these patients to address this prevalent deficiency. Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency observed, further research on other diseases characterized by reversible immobility is warranted. • A correlation between immobility and low serum vitamin D levels has been established. However, the vitamin D status of patients with familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP) who experience periods of reversible immobility remains unknown. • Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in children with HOKPP, and vitamin D levels correlated with various disease characteristics.
