Blood Test Report Suggests Low Vitamin D Level, Elevated TSH Level. Burning Sensation While Passing Stool. Are These Related?

Is my thyroid condition because of vitamin deficiency or vice versa? why is uric acid high? is it the because of the climate or because of excercise I am doing? I was under medication for acidity problem some time back. Now I do not have this problem but I have gas trouble. I also have burning feeling when I passing stool.PDW = 16.3% Could that be a reason for the low vitamin D level?

I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
Vitamin D deficiency is very common is urban areas nowadays due to lack of adequate exposure to the Sun and low intake in diet. If you are mostly indoors in Bangalore, you are bound to have the vitamin D deficiency. It is not related to thyroid.
Mild elevations of TSH may occur in some infections or thyroiditis, which return to normal after few months.
With exercise and shedding weight, your lipids and liver enzymes (SGOT/ SGPT) are normalizing. You could be having fatty liver.
All other tests are normal.
Why the lead, arsenic, mercury was tested? Was poisoning expected?
It is not a “routine” blood test as you mention!
Burning while passing stools and gas trouble are mostly due to faulty dietary habits and due to low residue diet/ junk food.
Eat a lot of fibrous food (fruits, green vegetables, pulses with skin etc.), drink plenty water.
You must be on Vitamin D supplements.
High uric acid is not significant at this minimal elevation and is affected by too many things.
You should stop worrying and just exercise and manage weight.
Recheck ultrasensitive TSH after 2-3 months and if high, get an endocrinology opinion.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole

also i am also intereted to know whether thyroid could improve with vitamin d supplements. toxic test was part of the package i took from thyrocare :)thanks
Recheck after 2-3 months.
If clinically hypothyroid state persists, l-thyroxin is needed.
Vitamin D is not mentioned as treatment for thyroid disorders. It does not improve thyroid function.
You may obtain an endocrinology opinion for the thyroid problem and undergo additional testing like antibody and nuclear scan.
I hope that answers your query.
Good Luck !


But you could obtain one from your doctor for calcitriol (calcirol) sachets 2 times each week for 2 months, and then weekly one for nsxt 2 months and recheck level.
A single intramuscular injection of high dose vit D may be taken initially to build up reserve rapidly.
Increase exposure to morning sunlight.
Tablets like shelcal 500 mg or others with calcium and vit d can be taken once a day.
Your doctor may give all these to you.
I hope this satisfies you.
Get well soon.
