fat-soluble vitamins the human body requires
for complete synthesis of certain proteins that
are prerequisites for blood coagulation and
which the body also needs for controlling
binding of calcium in bones and other

enough vitamin K, or if you take

 Vitamin E deficiency or hypovitaminosis E is a
deficiency of vitamin E. It causes nerve problems
due to poor conduction of electrical impulses along
nerves due to changes in nerve membrane
structure and function.
 Signs and symptoms
 Signs of vitamin E deficiency include the following:
 Neuromuscular problems
 Neurological problems
 Anemia-due to oxidative damage to red blood cells

21. TREATMENT
The treatment is
some form of
Vitamin E
supplementation.

 Vitamin K deficiency or hypovitaminosis K is a form
of avitaminosis,resulting from insufficient vitamin K.
 Signs and symptoms
 Symptoms include stomach pains; risk of massive
uncontrolled bleeding; cartilage calcification; and
severe malformation of developing bone or deposition
of insoluble calcium salts in the walls of arteries. In
infants, it can cause some birth defects such as
underdeveloped face, nose, bones, and fingers.

24. TREATMENT
The medical
therapy for
vitamin K (VK)
deficiency
depends on the
