Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The only problem is when you decide to take Vitamin D and calcium supplements, although in low doses. This will alter the metabolism, and especially the kidney function, leading to stones or precipitating kidney colic.

I usually evaluate the foods and drinks that the patients consume, and whole blood levels of vitamins and minerals. Then, decide to advise them to start taking vitamin supplements.

I hope that this answers your query.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
