View allI'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with a vitamin D deficiency. Can you explain what kind of problems they might face because of this? Also, what treatments are usually recommended for someone to overcome this deficiency?
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to issues like weakened bones (osteoporosis), increased risk of fractures, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood changes, and impaired immune function; treatment typically involves supplements (1,000-2,000 IUday) and increased exposure to sunlight, as well as dietary changes to include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and mushrooms.

My blood calcium levels are high at 12.5 and urine tests also show excess calcium. The sestamibi scan points to the lower right lobe being affected. I'm worried about the surgery will it be done under general or local anesthesia? How long does the procedure usually take and what's the typical hospital stay? Also, which surgical method works best for this condition?
For high blood calcium caused by an overactive parathyroid gland, surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with the procedure taking around 1-2 hours, and a hospital stay of usually one night. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is the preferred surgical method for most cases.
