Abstract: Introduction:- Vitamin D has been studied as modifiable risk factor in DM. Apart from its role in glucose homeostasis, the anti-inflammatory effect of vitamin D is claimed to have important effect on beta cell survival and on hepatic cells. Vitamin D is said to have anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic actions in liver. VDD is more prevalent in T2DM, obese and NAFLD even when these conditions occur separately. Literature states the protective effective of vitamin D on kidney. Association of VDD with albuminuria and chronic kidney disease in diabetics has also been reported. Material and Methods:- This is a type of comparative and interventional study. 63 T2DM patients aged 30 – 60 years with VDD were included. Baseline investigations determined blood levels of vitamin D, calcium, phosphate, liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP) and serum creatitine. Patients received vitamin D intervention orally in the dose of 2000 IU daily for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks blood levels of vitamin D, calcium, phosphate, liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP) and serum creatitine were determined. Results:- There was no correlation of vitamin D with urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphate, AST, ALT and ALP. There was extremely significant rise in vitamin D, significant fall in phosphate level, non-significant fall in creatinine, AST, ALT, ALP and non-significant rise in calcium, urea after 12 weeks of vitamin D supplementation. Conclusion:- There was no correlation of vitamin D with hepatic and renal parameters. Also 12 weeks of vitamin D supplementation had no significant improvement in these parameters in T2DM.
