Core Tip	In this study, a higher prevalence of vitamin A deficiency was detected in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients compared with healthy controls by measuring serum retinol levels and the relative dose-response test. According to the relative dose-response test, almost 40% of the CD patients had inadequate hepatic vitamin A stores, which was three times the value found in healthy controls. CD Patients with hypovitaminosis A had lower BMI and body fat compared with those without this deficiency. There was no association between vitamin A deficiency and its dietary intake, ileal location, presence of disease activity and prior bowel resections.
