R: High lab values

[Guest guest]

Interesting! I just found this article and we are now considering routine lab checks for vitamin A. We previously only checked vitamin D as far as fat soluble vitamins. In what procedures exactly are you finding high levels of fat soluble vitamins? Sleeves or also bands?

Has anyone seen high lab values regarding pts fat soluble vitamins? We recently started checking vitamins A, E, and K along with our typical post op labs but we are finding a large percentage of patients’ levels are coming back high. Does anyone have any research articles they could share regarding this or give me insight as to what may be the cause?

Thanks, Cristiana. We have only been checking A, E, and K in

RNY, distal RNY and BPD/DS patients (we check vitamin D on every type of

surgery). I haven’t noticed a

particular surgery having high values over any other, however vitamin K seems

to be the vitamin that comes back high frequently. Thank you so much for the article. I would love to hear input from others

who are testing fat-soluble vitamins.
