Vascular antiphospholipid syndrome (VAPS) and obstetric (OAPS) are different entities because some patients only develop thrombosis (without recurrent pregnancy losses) and vice versa. Only two articles have reported that low 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol (vitamin D3, VD3) levels were not correlated with the presence of conventional antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL Abs: anticardiolipin (aCL), anti-beta2glycoprotein I (aβ2gpI), and lupus anticoagulant (LA)), but no article analyzed the association of VD3 and anti-annexin A5 (aanxA5) Abs. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between VD3, multiple positivity of conventional aPL and aanxA5 Abs levels only in female OAPS vs. VAPS. Our study included 62 consecutive female PAPS patients. Concentrations of Abs were measured by ELISA, while VD3 levels were determined by immunochemiluminescence. Only 10/62 (16.13%) had sufficient (≥ 30 ng/ml) VD3 levels, while 48/62 (77.42%) and 4/62 (6.45%) had insufficiency and VD3 deficiency, respectively. Statistically significant VD3 deficiency was noticed in VAPS (vs. OAPS, P = 0.013). A negative correlation between VD3 levels and the age of patients was noticed (r = - 0.493, P = 0.032) only in VAPS subgroup. Multiple positivity of aPL and aanxA5 Abs was not associated with VD3 deficiency. Newly emerging aPL Abs, such as aanxA5 Abs, or their combinations with classical aPL Abs are not associated with VD3 deficiency in neither OAPS nor VAPS patients. Due to its immunomodulatory roles in B-Ly homeostasis, supplementation with VD3 should be considered in APS, at least in subgroup with severe form of the disease, i.e., VAPS.

D002112 Calcifediol The major circulating metabolite of VITAMIN D3. It is produced in the LIVER and is the best indicator of the body's vitamin D stores. It is effective in the treatment of RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA, both in azotemic and non-azotemic patients. Calcifediol also has mineralizing properties. 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol,25-Hydroxyvitamin D 3,25-Hydroxycholecalciferol Monohydrate,25-Hydroxyvitamin D3,Calcidiol,Calcifediol Anhydrous,Calcifediol, (3 alpha,5Z,7E)-Isomer,Calcifediol, (3 beta,5E,7E)-Isomer,Calderol,Dedrogyl,Hidroferol,25 Hydroxycholecalciferol,25 Hydroxycholecalciferol Monohydrate,25 Hydroxyvitamin D 3,25 Hydroxyvitamin D3,Anhydrous, Calcifediol,Monohydrate, 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol
