What causes high Vitamin D and low Potassium?

High Vitamin D and low Potassium can be caused by many reasons.

If your Vitamin D is in between 75 nmol/L and 250 nmol/L and your Potassium is in between 3.5 mmol/L and 5.1 mmol/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Vitamin D and Potassium respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Vitamin D levels include:

• Liver disease
• Celiac disease
• Your body isn’t properly absorbing or using vitamin D.
• Crohn's disease
• Kidney disease

Normal range of Vitamin D : 75 - 250 nmol/L
