Is Hydroxyvitamin Level In A Lady Being 13.98 A Cause For Concern?
Dear Doctors online, I love my so much & I m spending sleepless night because my wife s lab report has come out with hydroxyvitamin level is only 13.98. She takes Thyronorm 75 MCG daily & our family physician is also doubting osteoporosis now. She is 36 years old. I m shocked to death. Please tell me how to go about this. PLEASE. -Joshua (Mobile : 0000)

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Vitamin D or hydroxyvitamin D level fall due to deficiency of vitamin D in body.
Osteoporosis is one of the cause of vitamin D deficiency.
However, osteoporosis is rare at young age of 36.
Osteoporosis is seen in elderly females after menopause.
Cause of vitamin D deficiency may be sought out but the deficiency of vitamin D needs to be corrected first.
Vitamin D supplement will be required weekly for two months followed by repeat vitamin d levels..
Thanks and take care
