With that level you only need 2,000 IU/day to bring the level above 30 within 3 months or a loading dose of 4,000 IU/day x one month then 2,000 IU/day will bring the level above 30 quicker. PKD does not affect your vitamin D3 level. Only does advanced CKD due to PKD will affect ACTIVE D3 level.

One tab is enough. PKD will not cause this.
