Vitamin D3(cholecalciferol) is synthesized in the skin by transformation of 7-dehydrocholesterol exposed to ultraviolet B rays of the sun. Vitamin D binding protein transports D3to the liver, where it is hydroxylated to the inactive 25(OH)D form (calcidiol). In the kidneys, it is further...
(hypercalcemia). As a result, there is widespreaddepositionof calcium phosphate throughout the body and particularly in the kidneys. Toxicmanifestationshave been observed in adults receiving 50,000 to 100,000 IU (1,250 to 2,500 μg) of vitamin D daily and in infants on relatively low daily...

The livers and kidneys from adult beagle dogs chronically exposed to 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and from their Fweanling progeny were analyzed for vitamin A content. The dogs, subjects of a multigeneration study of the effects of DDT on canine reproduction, were fed...

Kidney diseases – Your kidneys convert 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) to its “active form” in the kidneys, which basically means that it can be used by the body for certain functions like absorbing calcium in the GI tract. Poor food absorption – GI disorders like celiac disease, Crohn...
increasing the production of active D3 by the kidneys during times of deficiency and insufficiency, so a blood test for 1,25(OH)D may appear normal or elevated even when your actual levels of vitamin D are low. However, in some disorders of calcium metabolism, the 1,25(OH)D test may ...
