Vitamin D

Potential Diagnosis

Increased In:

  • Endogenous vitamin D intoxication (in conditions such as sarcoidosis, cat scratch disease, and some lymphomas, extrarenal conversion of 25-dihydroxy to 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D occurs with a corresponding abnormal elevation of calcium)
  • Exogenous vitamin D intoxication

Decreased In:

  • Bowel resection (related to lack of absorption)
  • Celiac disease (related to lack of absorption)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (related to lack of absorption)
  • Malabsorption (related to lack of absorption)
  • Osteomalacia (related to dietary insufficiency)
  • Pancreatic insufficiency (lack of digestive enzymes to metabolize fat-soluble vitamin D; malabsorption)
  • Rickets (related to dietary insufficiency)
  • Thyrotoxicosis (possibly related to increased calcium loss through sweat, urine, or feces with corresponding decrease in vitamin D levels)
