Case Report: Nephrocalcinosis in an infant due to vitamin-D food supplement overdose
This case study highlights the potential dangers of unsupervised vitamin D supplementation, emphasising the importance of healthcare professionals exercising vigilance in prescribing and advising on vitamin D use, particularly in children. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of establishing a database to track long-term outcomes in paediatric vitamin D intoxication cases, given the rarity of such incidents. This would facilitate the development of appropriate treatment protocols and provide valuable information to parents.
