| Zinc therapy for night blindness in cystic fibrosis (2008) | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| This is the first report of a supplemented CF patient presenting with clinical vitamin A deficiency to be successfully treated with zinc therapy alone. Therefore in addition to retinol supplementation, normalizing serum zinc levels may be important in maintaining the vitamin A status of CF patients. The interactions and synergistic effects between the two micronutrients are discussed. | |||||||||||
