| Abstract Background :Asthma is achronic inflammatory disease with an immunomodulatory effect.This research aim was to estimate how vitamin D level affect asthma condition . patient and methods:The current study involved 60 asthmatic patients, who came to the chest department, at Benha University Hospital from December 2022 to January 2024. Patients had full history taken and examination, calculating asthma control test, CBC with differential, Chest x-ray (P-A view), Pulmonary function tests, measuring IgE and vitamin D. Results: findings were strong positive correlation between ACT , both age of patients and vit D level, a strong negative correlation between ACT and IgE. ,No significant correlation between ACT and CRP, or eosinophils. From factors correlated with ACT, only vitamin D was the most factor associated with it. Cutoff value (vitamin D) to predict poorly controlled asthma is ≤36.65 ng / ml, sensitivity of 96%, and specificity of 80%. Conclusion: Vitamin D level could be used as a marker for predicting asthma severity. | ||
