Vitamin E deficiency is especially common, so it is recommended that all patients are supplemented.
Patients with E.P.I. must be supplemented with vitamins A and D.
Routine vitamin K supplementation is unnecessary, although in young children or with liver disease there may be deficit.
The levels of water-soluble vitamins are, generally, normal.

Which is the difference between Fat-soluble and Water-soluble Vitamins ?
Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body, so the body has the responsibility to use them immediately. The amount of vitamins that not needed, are eliminated through urine, so it is generally recommended to take them daily to maintain levels balanced.
Fat-soluble vitamins, on the other hand, dissolve in fat, including oil and are stored in the tissue. They are especially indicated for patients with Cystic Fibrosis, since they usually have plasma levels of these vitamins below normal. These vitamins are essential for our body to function properly, and also have an influence in our physical and mental health. It should be noted that the excess intake of fat-soluble vitamins can be toxic, which reaffirms the importance of being controlled by a specialist.
