Objectives: Vitamin D has an important effect on bone but there are no trials that directly address the boosting of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) in bone microarchitecture in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus patients (JoSLE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on bone microarchitecture parameters using HR-pQCT in JoSLE patients.Methods: This study was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 24-we...
