title: [Hypercalcemia and acute renal failure: a case report of vitamin D intoxication].
abstract: Vitamin D (VTD) deficiency has become a topical issue leading to screening with frequent supplementation. The latter can be dangerous and exceptionally causes overdoses. We report the case of a 20 year old patient with abdominal pain in the setting of hypercalcemia due to intoxication by VTD. This case offers the opportunity to describe the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and to brownse through the literature in search of clinical practice recommendations for VTD supplementation.
