Vitamin D toxicity, also known as hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but serious condition that occurs when excessive vitamin D accumulates in the body from taking high-dose supplements. It is caused by prolonged intake of vitamin D supplements exceeding 10,000 IU daily, leading to elevated serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and dangerous calcium buildup in the blood and organs. The Post COVID-19 Expanded Panel is the most important test for diagnosis because it measures vitamin D concentrations and can detect levels above 150 ng/mL that indicate toxicity.

Vitamin D toxicity is caused by excessive intake of vitamin D supplements, typically exceeding 10,000 IU daily over an extended period. Unlike vitamin D from sunlight exposure or food sources, which are naturally regulated by the body, high-dose supplementation bypasses these protective mechanisms and allows toxic levels to accumulate. The condition develops when serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels rise above 150 ng/mL, leading to hypercalcemia, where dangerous amounts of calcium build up in the bloodstream and soft tissues including the kidneys, heart, and blood vessels.
The Post COVID-19 Expanded Panel is the most important test for vitamin D toxicity because it measures serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, the primary indicator of vitamin D status in the body. This comprehensive panel detects elevated vitamin D concentrations above 150 ng/mL that confirm toxicity and also assesses calcium levels to identify hypercalcemia, a dangerous complication of vitamin D overdose. The test provides the essential data healthcare providers need to confirm diagnosis, evaluate severity, and monitor treatment progress as vitamin D levels return to normal after discontinuing supplements.
You should get tested if you have been taking high-dose vitamin D supplements (typically above 4,000-10,000 IU daily) and experience symptoms like persistent nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion, or excessive thirst and urination. Testing is especially important if you have kidney problems, take medications that increase vitamin D absorption, or have been supplementing without medical supervision for several months. You should also consider testing if you notice bone pain, digestive issues, or signs of dehydration, as these can indicate dangerous calcium buildup from vitamin D toxicity.

What this means
Your C-Reactive Protein level is elevated, indicating ongoing inflammation in your body that's common after COVID-19 infection. This inflammation may be contributing to symptoms like persistent fatigue, joint pain, or difficulty concentrating. While elevated CRP is expected during recovery, monitoring it helps track your progress and guide treatment decisions.
Recommended actions
Focus on anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish, berries, leafy greens, and turmeric
Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support immune recovery
Incorporate gentle movement like walking or yoga without overexertion
Consider omega-3 supplements and discuss with your doctor
Retest in 6-8 weeks to monitor inflammation trends
Not overhyped or overpriced. Just comprehensive blood testing made simple and for everyone.
