Since vitamin D toxicity is remarkably mirrored by mice that lack a vitamin K - dependent protein, since Warfarin induces a remarkably similar type of toxicity by inducing vitamin K deficiency, since Warfarin and vitamin D toxicity respond to similar treatments, and since Warfarin's toxicity can be completely abolished by providing sufficient vitamin K, it follows that vitamin D toxicity is likely to be at least in part a form of vitamin K deficiency.

Still, scientists can not fully rule out environmental triggers — including various types of toxicity — that might interact with a given individual's preexisting genetic inclination. (discovermagazine.com)
All 10 patients who received the CTL119 cells experienced mild cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a known potentially lethal type of toxicity, within a few days after receiving their infusions; however, none required treatment with tocilizumab, an immunosuppressant drug that blocks the effects of the inflammatory cytokine IL - 6.
