A 69-year-old patient had been coming to our Urgent Medical Center for hypertension.  Dr. Usha Jain ordered Vitamin D blood tests along with routine blood tests. The patient was found to have vitamin D deficiency. The patient was treated with high doses of vitamin D. The patient tolerated and did well.
