Explanation

A patient underwent an operation on account of gall bladder excision that resulted in obstruction of Ca absorption through the bowels wall. What vitamin will stimulate this process?Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3 is a type of vitamin D that is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is converted in the liver to calcifediol (25-hydroxyvitamin D) which is then converted in the kidney to calcitriol. Calcitriol is a synthetic physiologically active analog of vitamin D, specifically the vitamin D3 form. Calcitriol regulates calcium in vivo by promoting absorption in the intestine, reabsorption in the kidneys, and, along with parathyroid hormone, regulation of bone growth. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin D deficiency and associated diseases, including rickets. Osteoclasia is the bowing of the bones (bowed legs).
