How To Make Up With Vitamin D Deficiency ?
Question: Vitamin D deficiency
Brief Answer:
Please tell me more about your question.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. If you are able to tell me more specifically what questions you have about Vitamin D deficiency, I may be able to help specifically address your situation. In general, vitamin D levels above 20 ng/mL are considered normal, and below that is considered insufficient, with levels lower than 12 ng/mL considered to be "deficient". The treatment basically consists of vitamin D replacement, the amount of replacement depending on the level of Vitamin D. Levels are usually checked about every 3 months until the Vitamin D is at a normal level.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
