Thirty-one Cystic Fibrosis patients were investigated for clinical and biochemical evidence of Vitamin A deficiency. All had been prescribed oral pancreatic enzyme replacements and twice the recommended daily requirement of Vitamin A (5000IU). ⋯ There was no correlation between the above findings and abnormal liver function or clinical disease severity. All patients with cystic fibrosis should have regular Vitamin A estimations with ophthalmological assessment if serum levels fall below 30 microgram/dl.
