  • Hepatosplenomegaly

    Other symptoms can be quite nonspecific: Scaly seborrhoeic eczema Patchy hair loss Stomatitis Loss of appetite Nausea Vomiting Malaise Hepatosplenomegaly Liver failure Raised intracranial pressure Children can present with craniotabes, irritability, failure [patient.info]

  • Fear

    The overzealous use of Vitamin D in India due to the fear of rickets can also lead to Vitamin D intoxication. [14], [15] Metastatic calcification as seen in our case is frequently described in hypercalcemia due to hypervitaminosis of Vitamin D. [ssajm.org]

  • Microscopic Hematuria

    Two patients with nephrocalcinosis had high serum creatinine, while three patients had evidence of microscopic hematuria. [academic.oup.com]

  • Nocturia

    The patient had had an attack of “flu” five months previously, and since that time he had noted recurring headaches, muscle weakness, bouts of conjunctivitis, and increasing frequency and nocturia. [mdedge.com]

  • Cesarean Section

    The past history included low birth weight(birth weight 1750 gr length 45 cm and head circumference 31 cm)with cesarean section delivery because of fetal distress, she had been admitted because of anemia and high level of urea with a diagnose of birth [ijn.mums.ac.ir]

  • Slurred Speech

    Three months later she developed confusion, slurred speech, unstable gait, and increased fatigue. She was hospitalized for hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury secondary to hypervitaminosis D. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Unstable Gait

    Three months later she developed confusion, slurred speech, unstable gait, and increased fatigue. She was hospitalized for hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury secondary to hypervitaminosis D. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Stupor

    A 64-year-old man was hospitalized in 2002 with symptoms of stupor, weakness, and renal colic. The clinical examination indicated borderline hypertension, small masses in the glutei, and polyuria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Meningism

    Baby later developed hydrocephalus as sequelae to meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed periventricular calcification probably a sequelae to hypercalcemia. [ssajm.org]

On further workup, it was found that urinary calcium creatinine ratio was 0.92 (normal 200 nmol/L). Thyroid function test was normal and serum Vitamin A or retinol was 37 μg/dL (normal reference interval 38-106). [ssajm.org]

The diagnosis was established in Patient 3.2 at 18 months of age after the family's workup. Notably, his serum calcium level at that time was within the normal range, and intact parathyroid hormone levels were suppressed. [nejm.org]

  • Pulmonary Calcification

    Experimental hypervitaminosis D in rabbits resulting in renal and pulmonary calcifications has been shown be have limited reversibility. Timecourse Clinical signs of toxicity may take weeks to several years to become apparent in rabbits. [vetstream.com]

The treatment improved serum calcium, kidney function, and consciousness. The medical history disclosed recent treatment with exceptionally high doses of slow-release intra-muscular cholecalciferol and the recent excretion of urinary stones. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Mortality is rare. Once identified, the prognosis is good. The yellow coloration of skin will reverse with time. [patient.info]

Outlook (Prognosis) Recovery is expected. [indiatoday.in]

The prognosis upon adequate treatment is excellent Those with severe signs and symptoms of Hypervitaminosis D may require hospitalization with extended treatment. [dovemed.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) Recovery is expected, but permanent kidney damage can occur. [m.ufhealth.org]

(Etiology) The body requires a specific amount of vitamin D each day. The liver stores vitamin D, which then gets transported to various parts of the body by a specific carrier protein, termed as the vitamin D-binding protein. [dovemed.com]

Calcifediol is implicated in the etiology of atherosclerosis, especially in non-Caucasians.The levels of the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, are inversely correlated with coronary calcification. [en.wikipedia.org]

Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that there is a narrow range of vitamin D levels in which vascular function is optimized. Levels above or below this range increased mortality. [en.wikipedia.org]

Vitamin D has been added to milk in the United States since the 1930s to prevent rickets. We report the unusual occurrence of eight cases of vitamin D intoxication that appear to have been caused by excessive vitamin D fortification of dairy milk. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To prevent this condition, pay careful attention to the correct vitamin D dose. [indiatoday.in]

Kidney stones Call your provider if: You or your child shows symptoms of hypervitaminosis D and has been taking more vitamin D than the RDA You or your child shows symptoms and has been taking a prescription or over-the-counter form of vitamin D To prevent [nlm.nih.gov]

Discussion : Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium homeostasis and the development and maintenance of the skeleton, is recommended for the prevention of rickets, optimization of peak bone mass, and prevention of bone loss, In addition, vitamin [ijn.mums.ac.ir]
