What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on SLE disease activity

    Study the SLE disease activity by SLEDAI-2K in relation with vitamin D levels

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on IL-6 level

    monitor serum vitamin D before and after intervention

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. To determine whether IL-6 can early detection in SLE disease flare

    monitor serum IL-6 before and after intervention compare with SLE disease activity index ( SLEDAI-2K )

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. To determine adverse reaction of high dose vitamin D

    monitor adverse reaction of vitamin D after intervention

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. To study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on anti-dsDNA titer

    monitor serum anti-dsDNA titer before and after intervention

    Measured: 12 weeks
