Vitamin A is critical to good vision. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. That means it is absorbed into the bloodstream and stored in the liver, (the same is true for Vitamins D, E, and K).
Vitamin-D deficiency "rickets," a disorder that becomes apparent during infancy or childhood, is the result of insufficient amounts of vitamin D in the body. The vitamin deficiency may be caused by poor nutrition, a lack of exposure to the sun, or malabsorption syndromes in which the intestines do not adequately absorb nutrients from foods.
Vtamin K deficiencies are uncommon, you may be at higher risk if you:
- Have a disease that affects absorption in the digestive tract, such as Crohn's disease or colitis
- Take drugs that interfere with vitamin K absorption
- Are severely malnourished
- Drink alcohol heavily

Diseases that cause the malabsorption of fat can result in a deficiency of which vitamins?
Because they dissolve in fat, vitamins A, D, E, and K are called fat-soluble vitamins. They are absorbed from the small intestines, along with dietary fat, which is why fat malabsorption resulting from various diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) is associated with poor absorption of these vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are primarily stored in the liver and adipose tissues. With the exception of vitamin K, fat-soluble vitamins are generally excreted more slowly than water-soluble vitamins, and vitamins A and D can accumulate and cause toxic effects in the body.
