Abstract
Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble molecules responsible for
increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and
phosphate, and multiple other biological effects [1]. High levels of
25(OH) vitamin D can therefore cause refractory hypercalcemia.
Suboptimal levels of serum Vitamin D are a global healthcare
issue. Recently, Vitamin D has increasingly been recognised to
have healthcare benefits beyond Calcium metabolism and bone
health. As a result, Vitamin D status assessment and over-thecounter consumption has exponentially increased. However
indiscriminate consumption can lead to hypervitaminosis D and
its associated complication. This report reviews a case of a patient
with hypercalcaemia and Acute Kidney injury as result of Vitamin
D intoxication.
