D
Vitamin D toxicity causes high levels of calcium in the blood and urine because vitamin D en-hances calcium absorption. Lethargy and loss of coordination indicates thiamine deficiency. Rickets, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis indicate vitamin D deficiency (not toxicity). Blistered skin, joint pain, and liver damage are signs of vitamin A toxicity.
