Calcinosis and Metastatic Calcification due to Vitamin D Intoxication

Abstract: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, can be associated with significant morbidity when prescribed in large doses. We describe a hypoparathyroid patient with vitamin D intoxication who developed painful periarticular calcinosis, nephrocalcinosis with hypertension and chronic renal failure in addition to band keratopathy and hearing loss. He was treated with combination therapy including prednisone, phosphate-binding antacid, phenytoin and disodium etidronate. After 20 months of follow-up there was a significant re… Show more

“…[5] Renal tübüler kalsiyum reabsorbsiyonunun artması-na bağlı olarak hiperkalsiüri ve tubuluslerde kalsiyum birikimi sonucu medüller tipte nefrokalsinozis gelişir. [1,2] Hastamızda Ca seviyesi ve total D vitamini dozu birlikte yüksek idi. Bununla beraber nefrokalsinozis olmaması ağır hiperkalsemi olmasına rağmen maruziyet süresinin kısa olmasına bağlandı.…”

“…By contrast, the Institute of Medicine advocates VD repletion as a level of 20 ng/mL [27] . Determining the 25(OH)D target level for optimal health is especially important in CKD population, where overuse of VD leads to hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria and hyperphosphatemia, which could predispose to vascular calcification, nephro lithiasis and reduced glomerular filtration rate [28][29][30] . All these data suggest an optimal level of VD exists that is neither too high nor too low [31] .…”

“…In children, reliable oral intake of supplements can be difficult; inadequate intake can precipitate a hypocalcemic crisis. In addition, treated patients do not receive the full calcium retaining renal action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Patients treated with vitamin D may exhibit hypercalciuria despite normal or even low serum calcium levels.…”
