Brief Answer:
Severe form of Vitamin D defeciency.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Normal values of Serum Vitamin D levels is 20 ng/ml to 50ng/ml.
A value less than 12 ng/ml is considered to be Vitamin deficiency.
Your mother comes under severe form of Vitamin D deficiency.
I advise her to take Vitamin D 60,000 IU once weekly for 3 months.
Note:These drugs should be taken under strict medical supervision of your doctor.
Repeat Vitamin levels after completion of the treatment.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
