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...

You should not go over in supplementation. 2000 IU is the tolerable upper intake level for adults; supplementation over that may cause a risk for toxicity (weak muscles, weak bones, excessive bleeding, and kidney stones). Vitamin D is available through our foods - Fortified milk, breakfast cereals, egg yolks, fatty fish, fish oils, and the sun, as you mentioned.
Avatar f tn In PKD there may be osteomalacia and vitamin D deficiency. A common complication of polycystic kidney disease is high blood pressure. Kidney failure is another complication. It may be best to get an evaluation done. A clinical examination and work up like ultrasound kidney, ureter bladder, and kidney function tests, vitamin D levels and calcium may be done. Treatment will depend on the cause. Do write to me again with more queries. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn From my research, and the ailments, it appears my problem has been a continual low or none Vitamin D all along. Tests come back with no Vitamin D or very little. I ran out in the sun, with no sunscreen and now I garden, so Vitamin D should not be an issue, but it is. When I don't have enough Vitamin D, I get mouth sores (not herpes). I take Vitamin D, for two days they are gone, and then come back, until I take my next round of D once a week.
Avatar f tn You may need calcium supplements to prevent bone disease and vitamin D to maintain calcium balance. Iron supplements may be needed if there is anemia. For more queries consult your doctor since he knows your medical records best and the associated risks also. Hope it helps. Keep me posted. Take care and good luck!
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 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 1) normal at my lab. My vitamin D was 11. I find it interesting the problems you had with D. I took the D and my heart was racing, I was extremely nauseous and I had worse muscle pain than I ever had. I had to sit in bed with a heating pad. My docs believe i just have secondary hyperpara due to vitamin D deficiency. I have had 2 online opinions tell me it is not because my calcium should be much lower. I am in a no win situation though as my docs won't test me further.
550622 tn?1247656720 I did a few rounds of Vitamin D therapy due to a chronic kidney disease and hyperparathyroidism. My levels were extremely low and I have all the same issues you have. The joint pain is nearly crippling for me and I never sleep anymore. Hope you get better soon.
Avatar n tn I hope you mean 8,000 IU vitamin D and not 80,000. You can take too much Vitamin D. 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 m tn In general creatine is excreted in your urine. You can drink more water and it will help. That's what most doctors recommend. Take vitamin D 2000 IU every day and it will help HBEAG to get negative.
Avatar n tn Excessive use of sunscreen, having IBS, Crohn’s or celiac disease could be the other risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. Since Vit D is a fat soluble vitamin, disorders affecting fat metabolism can affect Vit D absorption. These include liver disorders, Crohn’s disease, colitis, and kidney problems. Rarely this is a hereditary disorder.
Avatar f tn If I have no symptoms? What symptoms would those be?
Avatar f tn Vitamin D3 is made in the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol absorbs UVB ultraviolet light at wavelengths between 270 - 300 nm * Kidney and liver disease - vitamin D is processed (metabolized) by the liver and kidneys into an active form of vitamin D * Parathyroid conditions (parathyroid - glands in front of the thyroid). PTH (parathyroid hormone) regulates calcium in the blood.
Avatar m tn And now I have to take these Vitamin D pills. How do you get low vitamin D levels and what is vitamin D used for?
Avatar f tn inadequate intake, inadequate exposure to sunlight, gut disorders such as IBS, Crohn’s disease, malabsorption syndromes and even gastric bypass that limit its absorption, and impaired conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites such as in liver or kidney disorders. Rarely this is a hereditary disorder. If you have gut problems like gas, constipation, diarrhea etc , then it is quite possible that you have an inflammatory bowel disorder.
Avatar f tn In the last month I was found with hematuria blood in urine and low vit. D I was put on 50,000 units of vit d weekly. UA again in 3 months. I have aches/pains that come and go in limbs and fingers. I was very tired but seem to be getting that under control. I did loose 15 pds but now my weight is steady. Praise. I do have stomach pain too that comes and goes. I have had multiple blood work everything came back fine except the vit d.
Avatar m tn Levels of the bioactive form of vitamin D tend to track with the health of the kidneys, so in someone with kidney disease, bioactive vitamin D levels decrease as the disease gets worse, and in end-stage kidney disease, the level is undetectable.
Avatar m tn 16, 2009) — Deficiency in vitamin D has been widely regarded as contributing to autoimmune disease, but a review appearing in Autoimmunity Reviews explains that low levels of vitamin D in patients with autoimmune disease may be a result rather than a cause of disease and that supplementing with vitamin D may actually exacerbate autoimmune disease.
Avatar f tn The study, a collaborative effort between Rockefeller University and the Rogosin Institute, will analyze endotoxin levels in blood samples from men and postmenopausal women over the age of 50 who have early chronic kidney disease. “Kidney disease affects people of all ages, but narrowing our demographic helps to minimize age-related effects on endotoxemia and other risk factors,” Ponda says.
Avatar m tn You may need calcium supplements to prevent bone disease and vitamin D to maintain calcium balance. Iron supplements may be needed if there is anemia. Do talk to your doctor before making any dietary changes. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn My sister has kidney disease, not sure if this is relative to Vitamin D deficiency..but she was told just to get outside more. The Dietician stated that the normal person will get enough Vit D just by driving in their car. She is fine without supplements (Kidney damage stopped also, through diet). So ...listen to your doctor or Dietician (not a Nutritionist). Per Mouse, there are so many variables and someone needs to make that decision for you.
Avatar f tn My dog was diagnosed with kidney disease last year. I switched his food and also started giving him a herbal tonic called Tripsy from PetWellbeing. Since he's been on it, its like I have my old dog back. Please don't give up hope just yet. Check out Tripsy and ask your vet about it as well. Good Luck! http://www.petwellbeing.
