| Abstract |
:
In industrialized countries, vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is extremely rare, except association with bariatric surgeries and hepatobiliary disorders. It is unusual that VAD develops during hemodialysis due to reduced glomerular filtration of vitamin A-binding protein. We reported the case of a 58-year-old Japanese male hemodialysis patient diagnosed with VAD. |
