Abstract
Sepsis remains a critical global health challenge characterised by a dysregulated immune response to infection, leading to systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. This review examines the immunomodulatory effects of Vitamin D in sepsis, focusing on its regulation of immune cell function, modulation of cytokine production, and enhancement of antimicrobial responses. While the potential of Vitamin D as an adjunctive therapy in sepsis management is evident, challenges such as variability in Vitamin D status, uncertainties regarding optimal dosages and patient heterogeneity, and potential adverse effects require careful consideration. The review highlights the implications for future research and clinical practice, emphasising the need for standardised measurement protocols, elucidation of optimal supplementation strategies, and integration of Vitamin D assessments into routine care. Despite the complexities, Vitamin D emerges as a promising avenue for personalised interventions in sepsis, necessitating ongoing research collaboration and evidence-based guidelines to harness its full therapeutic potential and improve clinical outcomes.
