Does vitamin'd cause kidney stones?
My doctor prescribed Vitamin D for my bone health, but I recently read somewhere that too much D can lead to kidney stones. I'm concerned if this is a risk I should be aware of.

Yes, taking very high doses of Vitamin D for a long time can increase calcium absorption and lead to stones.
Don't worry too much. Normal doses prescribed by your doctor are very safe. Just make sure to drink plenty of water every day to keep your kidneys healthy.
Haan, agar bina doctor ki salah ke bohot zyada high dose loge toh calcium badh sakta hai body mein, jiski wajah se kidney stones ho sakte hain. Bina test ke khud se heavy capsules mat liya karo na.
I was recently told by my doctor to take weekly Vitamin D tablets, but now I am a bit scared reading about kidney stones. Does this happen even with normal weekly doses, or only if we take too much?
Only extreme overdosing causes this! If you stick to what your doctor prescribed and drink your daily 8-10 glasses of water, your kidneys will be perfectly happy and safe! 😊
I completely understand how stressful it is to read about side effects and worry that a simple vitamin might cause kidney pain. I felt the exact same panic. Just remember, as long as a doctor is supervising your dose, you are safe.
Vitamin B12 is highly necessary for the body. It produces red blood cells, prevents cognitive disabilitie...
Bro, my uncle took heavy Vitamin D injections without tracking his levels and actually got calcium stones. The doctor told him B12 or D should never be abused. Keep checking your levels through blood tests.
As a diabetic, I have to manage multiple supplements. Vitamin D is essential, but high doses raise calcium which can stress the kidneys. I always get my kidney function test and calcium levels checked along with my HbA1c.
