My vit d3 level 4.97(Low)

Hi All,

I got my Vit d3(25 - HYDROXYVITAMIN D) level today and it's 4.97(Low). But report says Deficiency:< 20.0 ,Insufficiency: 20.0 -  100.0.

Please suggest me what I can take to improve my Vitd level?

I have given for IPTH test, I will be getting result in 3 days. Please help. I take lot of dairy products. That's why my Vit D is so less or what might be the problem? Thanks.

I have done my Alpha Feto Protein (AFP),Serum Test today and it's 3.1 IU/ml (Reference Range:  Non Pregnant: 0.0 - 5.8 IU/ml).

Even I have done my Ultrasound(Abdomen) and found that mine is Fatty Liver grade 1 as I am Obese. Doctor told me that if I loose my weight it comes to normal. So, except Fibroscan I have done all the tests required. I couldn't do Fibroscan as no doctor is prescribing it saying that I am Inactive HBV carrier, without prescription no one is doing Fibroscan.

Just to summarize:

HBsAgs latest Qualntity: 4430.13 IU/ml
HBeAg negative
HBeAb positive
Undetectable Viral load
Normal Liver function test with ALT 39 and AST 24
Vit D level: 4.97 ng/ml (Reference Range >20)
Calcium: 9.5 mg/Dl(Reference Range 8.5-10.1)
PTH(INTACT): 32.6 pg/ml(Reference Range 14.0 -72)

Current Medications:
================
As I was very much Vit D3 deficient Doctor gave me one injection of ARachitol 6 lakh Im stat and asked me to take one tab of UpriseD3 60K every week after breakfast from next week.


I am travelling to US next week, I am not sure if I will be able to do HBsAg count test after 6 months. May be I will test it next year when I am in India. I will post my results.

I think I do not need to worry about it for next 6 months atleast. Please suggest me if I need to do anything else..

vit d deficiency itself promotes fatty liver, fibrosis, kidneys working 50% less, insulin resistance, promotes obesity

so i think that correcting vit d, eating organic only, a good diet and some gym will correct everything
