The clinical significance of vitamin D in systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review.

<h4>Background</h4>Vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among SLE patients than the general population. Over the past decade, many studies across the globe have been carried out to investigate the role of vitamin D in SLE from various clinical angles. Therefore, the aim of this systema...
