kidney stones in vitamin d

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...

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...

I have kidney stones. I was told that the kidney stones are a result of a high para thyoid level . and a low Vitamin D level. Has anyone ever gone through this ? It's all brand new information to me -- and I don't know what to think.

Check his Vitamin D level, if you live in above South Carolina state, the sun rays reaching the earth surface doesn't make enough vitamin d from Nov to March, supplementation of at least 2000IU per day is required. Let the doctor check his Vitamin D levels and correct for any, then keep him on supplement during winter months, and in summer, try to expose him to sun more frequently.

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!

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

Check your vitamin D level. Sometimes high creatine could be because your vitamin D level is either too low or too high. If you see your vitamin D level is too low then start taking vitamin D. If it is too high then you need not get so much sun. I am not sure if you swim outside or inside. If you get alot of sun your vitamin D level could be high and cause creatine level to be high. Also, drink alot of water. It will help big time. Drink like 4-5 bottles a day.

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.

Kidney stones are horrible! I had them early on in my pregnancy.

I was diagnosed with bilateral kidney stones during an ultrasound. Stones are of a calcium variety. Subsequent tests reveal PTH - 138 Serum Ca - 9.3 Urine Calcium 24 hr - 124.8 Vital D 25 (OH) - 10 Please advice if this is primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism or if I need further lab tests to complete the diagnosis.

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.

In March of 2007 I had surgery to remove a massive amount of stones in my right kidney. I had a stent left in for a week after the surgery. The urologists was surprised to find so many stones because they did not show up on the x-ray or cat scan. There were so many that he ran out of time to get them all. During my follow up with the Urologist he advised me to take caltrate. Caltrate made me feel sick.

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.

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.

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.

Sorry, meant to explain that vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium, so if you take the calcium with the D, the calcium gets absorbed and the blood levels remain stable. I'm sure your son is on it.

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.

I have put myself on cipro to stave off infection and started vitamin d supplement to help reduce calcium in urine. I study online and merck manual etc to try to treat myself. I have two nephrologists and both are worthless, say i am a fascinating case but have no suggestions to stop stones. this is my 12th one and my life is put on hold everytime. some pass quick others dont. i am used to the pain and can deal with it, what scares me is the kidney pain.
