541196 tn?1293552936 Is it possible to have my problem with Vitamin D be not completely caused by my thryroid? Maybe malabsorbtion or kidney problems? I have had two tests show I have protien in urine. I have flank pain periodically. I have high blood pressure, diabetes, high triglycerides and low HDL, and swelling of ankles and hands. I often have stomach aches with multiple loose stools a day...
Avatar f tn Keep in mind that milk, and many other products also contain vitamin D. Too much vitamin D can cause kidney stones, which is almost as painful as having a baby. Otherwise... it's up to you...
Avatar f tn 8 and 1.5. Last 2 GFR were 47 and 49. History of kidney stones. 7 years ago I had sepsis and had a kidney stone in my right kidney. A nephrostomy tube was placed for 3 months. Should I see a nephrologist?
Avatar m tn Vitamin D may increase calcium levels in people with sarcoidosis. This could lead to kidney stones and other problems. Use vitamin D cautiously. Histoplasmosis: Vitamin D may increase calcium levels in people with histoplasmosis. This could lead to kidney stones and other problems. Use vitamin D cautiously. Over-active parathyroid gland (hyperparathyroidism): Vitamin D may increase calcium levels in people with hyperparathyroidism. Use vitamin D cautiously.
Avatar m tn Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming? I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.
Avatar f tn The good sources of vitamin A are alfalfa, apricots, cantaloupes, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and squash. In case of vitamin D deficiency due to the damaged kidneys, vitamin D supplements can help. It is important to discuss with your doctor about the dietary modifications. I sincerely hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn thus, do not take supplements of vitamin d nor eat alot of food containing vitamin d such as cheese, milk, eggs etc. nor excess sunbathing since sunshine produces vitamin d in your body. You're better off living with a vitamin d defeciency than taking supplements advised by your doctor. Also, do not take calcium carbonate mineral pills since it could contribute to kidney stones because kidney stones are actually pellets of calcium carbonate !!
Avatar n tn Have it tested when you have your next blood test. Kidney stones could mean too much calcium, and the Vitamin D could make this condition worse. Too much Vitamin D can also cause other kidney problems. Consult with your doctor and have him/her do a full blood panel.
Avatar f tn Hard to know if this is primary or secondary, but the kidney stones are concerning. Sometimes we give some vitamin D replacment (1000IU-2000IU/day) and follow the levels closely to sort this out. Or repeating the PTH/Ca levels every few months for a while to see if a trend or diagnosis becomes more apparent. I have seen several cases like this that end up being primary hyperpara, but would need to see more data over time to make this conclusion.

Avatar f tn Hi and WELCOME to our Kidney Stone Community. I'm not a doctor, but do have too much experience with kidney stones. For me, I'd get pings and pangs in my kidney as well as microhematuria (blood you cannot see by eye) in my urine when I have stones. I've also had the flank pain you describe .. for me it's been in the lower back. I hope with lots of water your stones move out for you uneveventfully. Please keep in touch. From what I've read stones <5.
Avatar m tn I have been stone free for six years now, since I seen the Endocrinologist. He reviewed my blood work and found several deficiencies, like Vitamin D, low Potassium, and high contents of Salt to name a few. He recommended foods to avoid since my stone were calcium acetate formations and some medications. However, kidney stone are not the only reason for pain in the kidney area. I had other kidney pains from Reno cyst.
Avatar n tn Would consider repeating the PTH and Calcium as well as checking 25-OH-D (vitamin D) -- as the recurrent stones are suspicious for a parathryoid problem.
Avatar f tn The kidney stones I have had 7 total, 3 in the last 1.5 years. I have PTH of 146, Vitamin D of 25 and Calcium of 9.2. 3 endo's in my area say that it is in no way, shape, or form hyperparathyroidism but went to Mayo and the doctor says maybe but wants more proof. They also tell me that my symptoms can not be caused by it because my calcium is normal. They have been working on my Vitamin D to raise it and I had labs done before and PTH was 104, Vit D was 67 and Calcium 9.1.
Avatar f tn Calcium oxalate stones can from with too much protein in the diet, too much calcium and Vitamin D and through dehydration. Being anaemic will not cause kidney stones. Anaemia is lack of red corpuscles in the blood that carry oxygen around the body. This will make you feel very tired.
338489 tn?1215558109 Too much D with not enough calcium can also pre-dispose you to kidney stones (because of the hypercalcemia and too much calcium in the urine). I am hoping your son's doctor told him that!
Avatar f tn I cannot take more vitamin D, because I have hyperparatyroidism and I may get atrial fibrillation due to increasing vitamin D intake (last time at the beninning of this year, when vit D was increased to 100 mcg). During last few weeks my leg cramping has increased.
