Vitamin K [SEP] Vitamin deficiency
Average diets are usually not lacking in vitamin K, and primary deficiency is uncommon in healthy adults. However, infants are at an increased risk of deficiency regardless of the vitamin status of the mother during pregnancy because of poor transfer of the vitamin to the placenta. Other populations with an increased prevalence of vitamin K deficiency include those who suffer from liver damage or disease (e.g. alcoholics), cystic fibrosis, or inflammatory bowel diseases, or have recently had abdominal surgeries. Secondary vitamin K deficiency can occur in people with bulimia, those on stringent diets, and those taking anticoagulants. Other drugs associated with vitamin K deficiency include salicylates, barbiturates, and cefamandole, although the mechanisms are still unknown.
