Second, Warfarin, a vitamin K inhibitor, produces a toxicity profile almost identical to that of vitamin D, but does not increase serum calcium levels.81 Third, one group used vitamin D to produce calcium deposition in the kidneys of chickens at doses that did not lead to hypercalcemia.104 This finding is consistent with a case report of four post-menopausal women who were taking undetermined doses of vitamin D without their knowledge in the form of supplements that appeared to be contaminated with large amounts of vitamin D2: these patients had abnormally high vitamin D levels, three times the calcium in their urine as is normal, and appeared, albeit inconclusively, to have associated bone loss.

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.
