Vitamin D Binding-Protein and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) in Patients Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Panel A shows changes over time in levels of vitamin D binding-protein, total 25(OH)D, and directly measured free 25(OH)D in 3 patients admitted to an ICU. Panel B shows the Pearson’s correlation coefficient between serum total 25(OH)D and vitamin D-binding protein levels n 25 ICU patients at all time points sampled.
