Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesTo determine the vitamin K status and measure bone mineral density loss over 12 months in 60 patients presenting with primary biliary cirrhosis. To determine the effects of vitamin K therapy on longitudinal bone mineral density and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in primary biliary cirrhosis patients.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOsteoporosis
Interventioni. Vitamin K supplementation
ii. No vitamin K supplementation
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measure(s)

Should Vitamin K supplementation be found to alter the course of bone loss in PBC patients it would provide a very cost effective therapeutic intervention. The research may have additional implications for healthcare provision in other areas of metabolic bone disease.
