Vitamin C supplementation in the critically ill patient
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Vitamin C is not only an essential nutrient involved in many anabolic pathways, but also an important player of the endogenous antioxidant defense. Low plasma levels are very common in critical care patients and may reflect severe deficiency states. RECENT FINDINGS: Vitamin C scavenges reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and peroxynitrite in plasma and cells (preventing damage to proteins, lipids and DNA), prevents occludin dephosphorylation and loosening of the tight junctions. Ascorbate improves microcirculatory flow impairment by inhibiting tumor-necrosis-factor-induced intracellular adhesion molecule expression, which triggers leukocyte stickiness and slugging. Clinical trials in sepsis, trauma and major burns testing high-dose vitamin C show clinical benefit. Restoration of normal plasma levels in inflammatory patients requires the administration of 3 g/day for several days, which is 30 times the daily recommended dose. SUMMARY: The recent research on the modulation of oxidative stress and endothelial protection offer interesting therapeutic perspectives, based on the biochemical evidence, with limited or even absent side-effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
