Hypervitaminosis D is a rarely reported condition. In general it is only perceived when hypercalcemia is not resolved. The use of vitamin D has increased in recent years because of its benefits, but as a result, intoxication cases have occurred more frequently. This report describes a patient who presented worsening of renal function and hypercalcemia. After investigation, vitamin D intoxication was confirmed and it was due to an error in compounding.

Vitamin D intoxication is uncommon in children and is more commonly suspected in the setting of ingestion of high doses of vitamin D. Its manifestations can be non specific and varied ranging from mild like constipation and vomiting to life threatening like arrhythmias and encephalopathy. Here we present a 14 month female who presented with loss of milestones, floppiness, and poor interaction with mother. She was detected to have hypercalcemia and was subsequently diagnosed with vitamin D intoxication. She was successfully treated with hydration, furosemide, prednisolone and frequent monitoring of electrolytes, electrocardiography and volume status. Subsequently as her serum calcium levels normalized with therapy, she became alert, conscious and started achieving developmental milestones.

Hypercalcaemia is a common diagnosis with the majority of cases resulting from hyperparathyroidism or malignancy. We report a rare case of persistent symptomatic hypervitaminosis D-induced hypercalcaemia in an individual taking 50 000 IU of vitamin D supplement daily for several months following a diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency. His hypercalcaemia was initially treated with calcitonin and intravenous fluids, but due to recurrent symptomatic hypercalcaemia after discharge, additional treatment with glucocorticoids and bisphosphonates was warranted during his second admission. The pathophysiology of hypercalcaemia from vitamin D intoxication results from the long-term effects of vitamin D storage in adipose tissue. In the present case, we discuss this pathophysiology and treatment approaches in the context of increasing awareness of and testing for vitamin D deficiency, and growing access to over-the-counter supplements.

Lately, vitamin D has been a hot topic among multiple sclerosis specialists. Vitamin D supplementation is being thoroughly researched in order to establish whether or not it is useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. We present the case of a patient with multiple sclerosis, who, after searching online, decided to administer vitamin D supplements in high doses; subsequently he was admitted to our for clinic symptoms consistent with vitamin D intoxication.

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.
