Özet
Vitamins are essential organic molecules, which are required in the diet in relatively small amounts in any form of nutrition (oral, enteral, parenteral). Despite the small amounts that are required, the vitamins are essential both for maintenance of health, growth, and treatment of disease. After reminding about the principal function of all the vitamins, their needs and the clinical consequences of their deficit, the text present some common clinical problems: the impact of inflammation on the assessment of status. The reasons and diseases which cause increased requirements are presented, with the indications to monitoring of blood levels which remain the classical way to assess status in clinical settings. The text summarises the most relevant clinical manifestations of vitamins depletion and deficiency, the difficulties in assessing status, and makes recommendations for provision for medical nutrition therapy.
