Besides the known lack of vitamin D and iron, researchers observed lower-than-recommended vitamin B12, vitamin K1, and selenium levels in some people with PAH.
They comment, “There is room for improving dietary intake.”

Yesterday, my nephrologist informed me that my iron levels were dropping again. So, I’ll be starting iron infusions soon. Thankfully they do the two-series one, not the four-series.
I’m grateful that my medical team is on top of things. Last week my PCP said it was low right before Christmas, but we would redo labs after the holidays. I did last week, and they continued to drop.
I also was taking a Vitamin D supplement weekly. However, a few months ago, it was at toxic levels due to my CKD. So they discontinued it for now. I also do self-B12 injections each month and have been for several years.
