A member asked:

Reheumatologist trying to figure out cause of recurring iritis. had many tests done. he checked vitamin d levels. why would this be checked?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Deficiency is common: Lots of people with widespread musculoskeletal pain are actually suffering from osteoporosis. Vitamin d deficiency is extremely common due to folks avoiding sunlight and "eating healthy diets". It's a high-yield test. Iritis with arthritis can be enteropathic arthropathy -- any chance of whipple's / crohn's?
