"Markedly elevated serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) are key to the pathogenesis of vitamin D toxicity. Historically it was thought that as 25-hydroxyvitamin D rose, the hypercalcaemia manifested itself in step, however recent work suggests that in most people normocalcaemia persists, even in the face of a severely elevated serum 25(OH)D 2. Dosing of up to 20,000 IU per day seems to be safe in adult men 1,3."

warning

"Radiological appearances of vitamin D toxicity generally are due to the subsequent hypercalcaemia, e.g. nephrocalcinosis, peptic ulcer disease, and acute pancreatitis."

Line 42:103 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. nephrocalcinosis, peptic ulcer disease, and'.
