In medicine, vitamin D deficiency is "a nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of vitamin D in the diet, insufficient production of vitamin D in the skin, inadequate absorption of vitamin D from the diet, or abnormal conversion of vitamin D to its bioactive metabolites. It is manifested clinically as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults."[1]

Recommended serum levels are 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM)[2] and 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation.[3]

Institute of Medicine states (page 13):

  • Levels over 20 ng/ml: "Practically all persons are sufficient"
  • Levels 12-20 ng/ml: "Some, but not all, persons are potentially at risk for inadequacy."
  • Levels below 12 ng/ml: "persons are at risk of deficiency."

The IOM based their recommendations in part on a prior systematic review by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.[4]

Epidemiology and prevalence

About a quarter of older adults have levels below 20 ng/mL.[5]

Low levels of vitamin D are common in medical inpatients.[6]

Levels below 47.5 nmol/L are associated with increased risk of hip fracture.[7]

"The FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI VDR polymorphisms are not associated with BMD or with fractures, but the Cdx2 polymorphism may be associated with risk for vertebral fractures" according to an observational study.[8] However, TaqI and FokI polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor may be important to treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[9]

Diagnosis

Symptoms

Vitamin D was reported to be associated with widespread musculoskeletal pain like fibromyalgia[10].[11] However, this was an uncontrolled study and more recent studies make the associated between Vitamin D and non-specific pain doubtful[12] and suggest that earlier recommendations[10] to screen patients with musculoskeletal pain for deficiency of vitamin D may not be justified.

Laboratory test

The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D is the best metabolize to assay.[13][14] Assay method influences the result.[15]

Treatment

Clinical practice guidelines direct treatment.[16] Treatment of adults can be either 50,000 IU of D2 or D3 once a week for eight weeks or 6,000 IU daily. This is followed by 1,500 to 2,000 IU per day. Some populations may require higher doses.

A more recent randomized controlled trial showed that, among white women with vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency, a dose of 600 to 800 IU per day of vitamin D3 will raise the level above Institute of Medicine recommendations (20 ng/mL or 50 nmol/L) in 97% of women.[17]

Drug toxicity

Daily intake of 1000 mg of elemental calcium as calcium carbonate with 400 IU of vitamin D3 may increase urolithiasis according to the Women's Health Initiative randomized controlled trial.[18][19] This trial has been criticized because average age of the women at enrollment was 62 and they were only followed for 7 years; both problem may obscure benefit on fracture prevention.[20]


Absolute rates of outcomes[18]
&nbsp Vitamin D plus calcium
(18,176 patients)		 Placebo
(18,106 patients)		 Absolute difference Number needed[20]
Hip fractures 175 199 24 less in supplementation group 1986 to treat*
Urolithiasis 449 381 68 more in supplementation group 284 to harm
* Among compliant patients. There was no significant benefit among all patients (absolute rate difference of 0.02 would indicate a number needed to treat of 5000 if the value were significant in a larger study).

Screening

Clinical practice guidelines suggest screening of special populations with the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] assay.[16]
